OpenAI has officially announced that free ChatGPT users will now have limited access to its Deep Research tool, a feature previously available only to subscribers. The company has introduced an o4-mini powered lightweight version of Deep Research, which, while delivering slightly shorter responses, is nearly as intelligent and significantly cheaper. Subscription levels vary in the number of queries permitted, with Plus users receiving up to 15 extra inquiries monthly, and Pro users benefitting from an additional 125. Free users can now handle up to five monthly queries.
