Deep Research

Deep research is an AI capability where the model autonomously conducts multi-step web research to produce comprehensive, sourced reports on complex topics. Instead of answering from its training data alone, the AI plans a research strategy, searches the web, reads dozens of sources, synthesizes findings, and compiles a detailed report — a process that may take several minutes.

Example

You ask: "Compare the pricing, features, and limitations of the top 5 vector databases for production RAG systems." The AI spends 3-5 minutes browsing documentation sites, reading comparison articles, and checking pricing pages. It returns a detailed report with a comparison table, pros and cons, and citations to each source.
