OpenAI announces new ‘deep research’ tool for ChatGPT
To use the Deep Research feature of ChatGPT “You give it a prompt. And ChatGPT will find, analyze, and synthesize hundreds of online sources to create a comprehensive report. At the level of a research analyst,” the company said in a statement.
On social media platform X Altman said that deep research, which paid “Pro” ChatGPT users can access 100 times a month, was “slow” and required a lot of computing power.
“This is a system that I think can do — this is just an estimate of mine — but I think can do a single-digit percentage of all economically valuable tasks in the world,” Altman said.
