OpenAI no longer limits Deep Research with artificial intelligence -supported research vehicle to paid users. The company has announced that it has opened this tool with partial access to free users through the new and lighter model O4-Mini. Free users will now be able to use this tool up to five queries every month.
Deep Research attracts attention with its capacity to create detailed analysis, especially by quoting the sources on the Internet. OpenAI, this tool on the previous O3 model specially trained, while the newly presented O4-Mini version is more economical emphasizes. Although the O4-Mini model produces answers a little shorter, it aims to provide a similar experience in terms of general quality and content accuracy. This differentiated structure aims to provide flexible access for users.
Users who already have paid plans also benefit from various improvements. Plus and Team subscribers won 15 new query rights in addition to their previous 10 queries. In addition to the query limit of 125 per month, 125 light version query was defined. Enterprise and EDU users will access this new version as of next week.
Different query limits have been identified to all user segments
Although free users will be able to perform a maximum of five queries per month, we can say that this is an important step in terms of wide user audience. This development is considered a remarkable innovation especially for individual users who want to produce content by doing research. On the other hand, for users who want to make deeper analysis, the necessity of transition to paid plans continues. However, this move of Open AI serves as a functional bridge for users to get used to the vehicle.
Deep Research not only creates a text, but also can scan reliable sources on the Internet to offer quoted content. In this way, artificial intelligence -supported content production is more academic and verifiable. This feature makes the vehicle attractive especially for researchers, content producers and users in the field of training. In addition, the quality of the answers per query may vary depending on the nature of the claims.
According to the company’s statements, the O4-Mini-based version works with “significant lower server costs”. This is important in terms of both user experience and sustainability. OpenAI says that this new model can respond with high accuracy, although it is low. However, simplification of response lengths can be seen from time to time.
Users who pay $ 20 per month (approximately 768 TL) to the Plus plan and $ 200 (approximately 7,684 TL) to the pro plan have a more flexible inquiry experience with new limits. In this way, it is aimed to increase efficiency, especially for high -volume users. Once the users automatically direct the O4-MINI version after reaching the actual limit, it ensures that the use flow will continue without interruption. This transition process does not require the user to do an additional operation.
While offering these features, the company aims to maintain Chatgpt’s basic mission without changing it. In other words, Deep Research supports the creation of more robust information -based content as one of Chatgpt’s assistant functions. However, although access to the vehicle is increased, the ethical limits of artificial intelligence -supported information synthesis still continue to be the subject of discussion. Therefore, it is important for users to pass the content they get through the accuracy filter.
