OpenAI Extends Deep Research Features for Increased Access

OpenAI has expanded access to its advanced ‘Deep Research’ capabilities, making these features available to a wider user base. Plus, Team, and Pro users can now utilize the enhanced features alongside Enterprise and educational users who will gain access next week. Furthermore, a simplified version of ‘Deep Research,’ powered by the o4-mini model, is being rolled out for free users. This lighter version provides comparable intelligence, delivers concise answers, and minimizes costs compared to the original advanced features.
