- In -depth research is very soon at the free chatgpt level
- The positive level always offers considerable advantages compared to free level
- Chatgpt Plus has much higher limits and functionalities of use
In -depth research of Chatgpt has proven incredibly popular. He acts as a team of researchers who go online and are looking for a complex subject for you before returning with a full relationship, including sources, on the subject you asked him to investigate.
For example, using in -depth research, you could ask Chatgpt to compile a report on how the game industry has changed in the past three years and that would come back to you with a full relationship with tables and sources.
In -depth research is the category of an AI agent because it can act independently. You effectively give it a task and he will look for it for you before using his AI to apply the reasoning before drawing conclusions.
From pro to more
Deep research started on the professional level of chatgpt, which costs $ 200 (£ 165 / $ 325 per month, but quickly moved to the $ 20 more reasonable (£ 16 / $ 30 at) plus the level, where I have appreciated it for a few weeks.
It was always the plan that deep reasoning would finally move at the free chatgpt level, but it seems that it could happen as soon as possible.
The user of X Tibor Blaho recently noted, in a discussion on in -depth research with two of Openai’s technical staff, which they revealed that he was coming very soon at the level.

Although this is obviously excellent news for free level users, it questions if the positive level of Chatgpt still deserves to be paid. I think this is the case, and I will give you several reasons for which:
1. Less limitations
Of course, in -depth research could very soon arrive at the free chatgpt level, but I bet that you are limited to a small sample of uses per day.
If you follow the recent collapse of the chatgpt server caused by the publication of its native images generation capacities, you know that Chatgpt has limited its image generation allowances to only three images on the free level.
Being able to generate only three images per day is desperately restrictive, and although they can increase the limit in the future, I expect the publication of deep research on nature to arouses an equally enormous response of the public, causing another collapse of the server and the difficult restrictions imposed at the free level.
Basically, everything is limited in the free level, including things like the number of files that you can download on chatgpt per day. On the positive account, you don’t have to worry about it. Although there are still a few limits, you rarely approach it.
2. More LLM
Having a Plus account is also delivered with a whole range of advantages, but the main thing is access to more LLMS. On level more, you can (currently) access Chatgpt 4o, 4o-mini, 4, 4o with planned tasks, 4.5, O1, O3-Mini and O3. It’s a lot of choice! On the free level, you only have access to Chatgpt 4o-Mini, with access very limited to 4o and O3-Mini.
You will find that these different LLMs are more useful when it comes to doing complex tasks that require more reasoning, without forgetting that you have the chance to play with the preview of the search for the latest Openai model, Chatgpt-4.5
3. Sora video generation
On a more account, you get limited access to the generation of Sora AI videos. Sora is great, but to really use it properly and create clips that do not have a watermark, you need a professional account, (provided you are in the United States), you can at least experiment it in the account more, which is very fun.
4. You can speak to Chatgpt and make it speak
Advanced vocal mode is one of the best features of Chatppt, and you need an account more to access it for more than 15 minutes per month. 15 minutes is really just an overview of the functionality, and you will be short of time before you really had the chance to explore.
There are a range of different voices available for you, and this makes chatgpt more personal and intimate.
You can access the advanced voice mode from the Chatgpt website or its different applications, including mobile, and for many people, it is their favorite means of using Chatgpt.
These are the main advantages to use chatgpt plus, but of course, you get everything you also get in the free level, including chatgpt canvas and chatgpt search.
Although chatgpt search is available in free and more accounts, there are other features that you only get with more similar projects, which is a way to group files and cats together, tasks, which can be planned for another time and the possibility of creating personalized GPTs, so that you can exactly create the type of chatbot you want for a specific task.
Overall, there are more than enough good reasons to keep your Chatgpt Plus subscription, even if in -depth research becomes available on the free level. I think you will see that returning to the free level of the joys of a more subscription would be a deeply frustrating experience.
