Jakarta, INTI - The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is heating up with fierce competition between two global technology giants: OpenAI from the United States and DeepSeek from China.

According to Antara News on Monday, February 3, 2025, both companies are vying for dominance in the AI market by introducing groundbreaking innovations that are capturing the attention of professionals and users worldwide.

In response to this intense competition, OpenAI has taken a strategic step by launching a new feature called "Deep Research,” designed to strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

Deep Research for Professionals

The Deep Research feature is available to assist professionals working in fields that require intensive research, such as finance, science, policy, and engineering.

With the ability to process complex data and provide in-depth insights, Deep Research serves as a highly valuable tool for those who rely on AI to complete knowledge-based tasks.

This feature can scan various relevant information sources, filter critical data, and deliver more accurate results, making it easier for users to conduct comprehensive research.

Availability and Rollout Strategy

Deep Research is now available to ChatGPT Pro users with a limit of 100 searches per month. This move highlights OpenAI’s commitment to continuously delivering innovations tailored to the needs of professionals and researchers.

Currently, the feature is only available exclusively for ChatGPT Pro users. However, OpenAI plans to expand access to Plus, Team, and Enterprise subscribers in the near future, offering more users the opportunity to leverage this advanced research tool.

The Deep Research rollout is being carried out gradually, depending on the geographical location of users.

However, OpenAI has not yet provided a definitive release timeline for regions such as the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area (EEA), which are expected to receive the update in the coming months.

Strengthening OpenAI’s Position

With the introduction of Deep Research, OpenAI is not only providing a more advanced tool to enhance professional productivity but also solidifying its position in the highly competitive AI industry.

As DeepSeek continues to gain popularity and expand its influence, this move is crucial for OpenAI to remain relevant in a challenging market. This feature is expected to provide a competitive advantage, especially for industries that rely on in-depth research and highly accurate data.

How to Use Deep Research

To take advantage of this feature, users simply need to select the "Deep Research" option in the ChatGPT search menu and enter their desired query. Additionally, users can attach files or spreadsheets to obtain more in-depth analysis results.

Currently, this feature is only available on the web version, but OpenAI plans to integrate it into mobile and desktop applications later this month.

The information retrieval process using this feature takes between 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the request. Once the search is complete, users will receive a notification informing them that the results are ready.

In its initial phase, the output from Deep Research is limited to text. However, OpenAI plans to enhance search results by incorporating images, data visualizations, and more comprehensive analyses.

Additionally, the development roadmap for this feature includes the ability to connect with "more specialized data sources," including "subscription-based" resources and internal company data.

Conclusion

The introduction of OpenAI's “Deep Research” feature marks an important milestone in the ongoing competition in the AI industry. By offering tools tailored to the needs of professionals in research-intensive fields, OpenAI not only increases productivity but also strengthens its position as a key player in the AI industry.

As the launch of Deep Research continues to expand, it is expected to give OpenAI a competitive advantage, especially in industries that demand precise and comprehensive data analysis.

These developments underscore the rapid evolution of AI technology and the growing importance of innovation in maintaining market leadership. As competition in the AI industry intensifies, users around the world will benefit from the cutting-edge advancements emerging from this dynamic competition.
