ChatGPT Adds PDF Download Option for Deep Research Reports
The feature is designed to address a persistent user complaint: that copying and pasting the research into other applications often distorted its layout. With the new functionality, users can now export reports as PDFs directly from the platform, ensuring that formatting and structure remain intact.
What is Deep Research?
Deep Research is a tool within ChatGPT that allows users to conduct multi-step investigations on complex topics. It works by scouring hundreds of sources on the internet and summarizing the information in a detailed report within minutes—work that might take a human several hours to compile manually.
Until now, the only way to extract the report was to copy and paste the text, which disrupted formatting. The new download option changes that, offering a polished, professional-looking document for offline reading, printing, or sharing.
How to Download Deep Research Reports as PDFs
The update was first noticed by a user on X (formerly Twitter), and is now fully available on the web version of ChatGPT. After generating a Deep Research report, users can simply:
• Click the share icon in the upper right corner of the report,
• Select 'Download as PDF' from the dropdown menu,
• Save the file to their device.
This added convenience is now accessible to all ChatGPT users, regardless of their subscription tier—including Free, Plus, Team, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu plans. OpenAI confirmed the feature's rollout on May 17.
Alongside the PDF feature, OpenAI also introduced a GitHub connector for Deep Research, allowing developers to integrate research tasks directly with GitHub projects, further expanding the tool's utility.
Meanwhile, an AI Controversy at Northeastern University
In separate news, a Northeastern University professor is facing criticism for relying on ChatGPT and other AI tools to prepare classroom materials, while discouraging students from doing the same.
Ella Stapleton, a business student, spotted strange images and errors in class notes, some directly referencing ChatGPT. She filed a complaint and requested a tuition refund, which the university denied.
Professor Rick Arrowood admitted using ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gamma, but added, 'In hindsight, I wish I would have looked at it more closely.' He acknowledged he should have reviewed the AI-generated content more thoroughly.

Meta names former OpenAI researcher Shengjia Zhao as Chief scientist for superintelligence lab
Meta taps former OpenAI researcher Shengjia Zhao as Chief Scientist of its new Superintelligence AI Lab, signaling a bold move in the AGI race. Meta Platforms has appointed Shengjia Zhao, a former OpenAI researcher and co-author of the original ChatGPT paper, as the Chief Scientist of its new Superintelligence AI group, the company confirmed Friday (July 25). Zhao, who joined Meta in June, was a key contributor to OpenAI's early breakthroughs, including the development of ChatGPT and the company's first reasoning model, known as o1. The model helped set off a new wave of 'chain-of-thought' AI systems adopted by companies such as Google and DeepSeek. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Zhao's formal appointment in a post on Threads, calling him 'our lead scientist from day one.' Zuckerberg added: 'Now that our recruiting is going well and our team is coming together, we have decided to formalize his leadership role.' Zhao will report to Alexandr Wang, the former CEO of Scale AI, who joined Meta in June as Chief AI Officer. Wang is leading Meta's efforts in building artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI that can think and reason at or beyond human capability. The move comes amid Meta's aggressive recruitment campaign in the AI sector. Over the past two months, the company has hired more than a dozen researchers from OpenAI, Apple, Google, and Anthropic. That includes two top Apple AI scientists, Tom Gunter and Mark Lee, according to Bloomberg. Meta launched the Superintelligence Lab in June 2025 as part of its renewed focus on developing advanced AI models. The lab is separate from Meta's long-standing AI research group FAIR, which will continue to be led by Yann LeCun, who now reports to Wang. Meta's recent hires have drawn attention for the size of the compensation packages involved. Some reports suggested offers exceeding $100 million, although the company has denied rumors of higher figures, including claims of $300 million current open-source model, LLaMA 4, has not yet matched the capabilities of OpenAI's GPT-4 or Google's Gemini models. The company is expected to release a more advanced model, internally codenamed 'Behemoth,' later this expressed optimism about the lab's future, saying, 'Together we are building an elite, talent-dense team that has the resources and long-term focus to push the frontiers of superintelligence research.'

Now, AI vigil on garbage collection, encroachment, too
Prayagraj Municipal Corporation (PMC) has adopted artificial intelligence (AI)-based monitoring of garbage, potholes and encroachments on main roads and bylanes on a trial basis, Prayagraj Smart City manager (IT) Mani Shanker Tripathi said. (For representation) It has installed AI-equipped cameras on its two quick response team (QRT) vehicles. The AI would process information regarding unattended garbage, potholes and encroachments feed them to a server. The cameras have a three-meter-wide angle besides front view capacity of up to 50 meters. 'So far, the trial is yielding positive results. It has traced, analysed and reported information about potholes, unattended garbage dumped on roadsides besides bylanes, debris, uneven manhole covers and defunct streetlights. The results provided by the AI were cross-checked through physical verification and were found to be error-free,' he said. As per the official, if the trial is successful, such cameras would then be installed in all garbage collection vans used in the city's 80 wards. Meanwhile, additional municipal commissioner Deepshikha Pandey said the new set-up would not only help update PMC officials about daily collection of garbage from each and every road, but also help maintain a vigil on roadside encroachments and dumping of debris. This would help improve the ranking of the city in the next Swachh survey, she added Also, Prayagraj is the first city in the state where such a monitoring system is introduced, officials said. Presently, 70 km of major roads are being monitored with the help of AI.
