OpenAI introduces lightweight version of Deep Research tool: What is new
OpenAI is rolling out a lightweight version of its Deep Research tool for users, saying the cost-effective version will give shorter responses while maintaining 'depth and quality'. The artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT, the popular chatbot, said the tool is powered by the newly launched o4-mini reasoning model. OpenAI Pro subscribers will get 250 Deep Research queries per day. Team, Plus, Enterprise and Edu users will get 25 queries per day. Free users will get five queries. OpenAI said the ChatGPT's lightweight version of Deep Research will come to Enterprise and educational users by the end of next week, having ith the same usage levels as Team users. 'The lightweight version of deep research is powered by a version of OpenAI o4-mini and is nearly as intelligent as the deep research people already know and love, while being significantly cheaper to serve,' said OpenAI on X (formerly Twitter). 'Responses will typically be shorter while maintaining the depth and quality you've come to expect,' it said.

Deep Research began as an AI agent introduced by Google and expanded later when OpenAI released a more advanced version in February. Since then, several companies have launched similar tools under the same or slightly different names. There are lists of chatbots which are capable of deep research or deep search include Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Copilot.

OpenAI Unveils Technology That Can ‘Reason' With Images
In September, OpenAI introduced A.I. technology that could 'reason' through tasks involving math, coding and science. Now, this technology can tackle similar tasks that involve images, including sketches, posters, diagrams and graphs. On Wednesday, the company unveiled two new versions of its reasoning technology called OpenAI o3 and OpenAI o4-mini. Each can handle tasks that involve both images and text. These systems can 'manipulate, crop and transform images in service of the task you want to do,' said Marc Chen, head of research at OpenAI, in announcing the new system during an internet livestream. OpenAI also said that these systems could generate images, search the web and use other digital tools. Unlike early versions of its ChatGPT chatbot, these reasoning systems spend a significant amount of time 'thinking' about a question before answering, rather than providing an instant response. The systems are part of a wider effort to build A.I. that can reason through complex tasks. Companies like Google, Meta and DeepSeek, a Chinese start-up, are developing similar technologies. The goal is to build systems that can solve a problem through a series of steps, each one building on the last, similar to how humans reason. These technologies can be particularly useful to computer programmers who use A.I. systems to write code. The reasoning systems are based on a technology called large language models, or L.L.M.s. To build reasoning systems, companies put L.L.M.s through an additional process called reinforcement learning. During this process, a system learns behavior through extensive trial and error. By working through various math problems, for instance, it can learn which methods lead to the right answer and which do not. If it repeats this process with a large number of problems, it can identify patterns. OpenAI's latest systems have learned to handle problems that involve both images and text. Experts point out that reasoning systems do not necessarily reason like a human. And like other A.I. technologies, they can get things wrong and make stuff up — a phenomenon called hallucination. OpenAI also unveiled a new tool called Codex CLI that is designed to further facilitate computer programming tasks that involve systems like o3 and o4-mini. Called an A.I. agent, it provides ways of using these A.I. systems in tandem with existing code stored on a programmer's personal machine. The company said it is open sourcing this tool, meaning it is freely sharing its underlying technology with programmers and businesses, allowing them to modify and build on the technology. OpenAI said that, beginning Wednesday, these new systems would be available to anyone who subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, a $20-a-month service, or ChatGPT Pro, a $200-a-month service that provides access to all of the company's latest tools. (The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, for copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. Both companies have denied the claims).
