- A light deep search takes place for free level users
- It is based on the 4o-mini chatgpt model
- In addition, users will also have access to it after reaching their user limits
This is the news that all free chatgpt users were waiting for: Deep Research finally arrives at the free chatgpt level. However, the new version of the popular research tool is not quite the same as that currently appreciated by Pro, more, teams and business users.
The new deep research, which takes place at all free level users from today, is described by Openai as “light”. It is propelled by a version of Chatgpt O4-Mini unlike existing deep research, which is fueled by a version of Chatgpt-O3.
Openai describes the new light in -depth research as “almost as intelligent as deep research already knows them and like it, while being much cheaper to serve”.
In a tweet on the subject, Openai shared a graph showing precision rates for the new slight deep research compared to the deep original research and the O3 model.
The bad news is that free level users will be limited to five uses per month, so do not click the deep search button (when you get it), unless you really need to use it.
Expand the user limits for users more
At the same time, Openai says that it widens its use limits for in -depth research for more existing users and teams. However, it seems that after your 10 monthly uses were used, the expansion is carried out by giving you rather to the light version.
Once the limits of use of chatgpt depth research have been reached, people will automatically switch to the light version of in -depth research and earn 15 other uses per month, which led to certain chatgpt users on X accusing the company of having poor value compared to Google Gemini, which allows up to 20 uses per day for its in -depth research tool and 10 per month for giant users free.
Chatgpt pro users obtain 125 depth research uses per month, with 125 additional light uses per month, while business users simply obtain 10 uses of original research per month.
Use of deep research
To use in -depth searches, you simply select the “deep search” button when using chatgpt.
In -depth research has agentic qualities, which means that you can give it a task and that it will continue to search for you, under its own vapor, until it has completed the task, producing a complete relationship with quotes.
Reports can take several minutes to generate and involve the search for sources on the web, which makes in -depth research the most suitable for complex questions, rather than the usual cats that people have with AI chatbots.
I found that in -depth research works better for subjects such as criticisms of literature, market studies or to help me make big life decisions like deciding or living.
The news heats up on the heels of the announcement that Chatgpt Plus, the teams and business users obtain expanded limits of use, with 100 minutes of use of chatgpt-o3 per week and 300 minutes of chatgpt o4-mini per day.
