OpenAI Launches Deep Research—AI That Thinks for 30 Minutes

OpenAI just introduced Deep Research, a new ChatGPT feature that conducts extensive web research, analyzes sources, and delivers detailed reports with citations in under 30 minutes.

The system runs on a specialized version of o3, processing text, images, and PDFs to generate in-depth summaries. Currently, access is limited to Pro subscribers ($200/month) with 100 queries/month, but OpenAI plans to expand availability to Plus and Team users soon. Research tasks take between 5-30 minutes, with users receiving clarifying questions before results are compiled.

Early performance is promising—Deep Research scored 26.6% on Humanity’s Last Exam, far exceeding models like Gemini Thinking (6.2%) and GPT-4o (3.3%).

ChatGPT has always been great for quick responses, but this represents a shift toward longer reasoning and autonomous research. Combined with OpenAI’s Operator initiative, AI is moving beyond instant answers into deep, structured thinking—with game-changing results.

^{Today In Crypto}

Bitcoin Drops Below $93K as Market Liquidations Hit $2.2B

Bitcoin has fallen over 6% since Friday, sinking as low as $92,770 before recovering above $95,000. The sell-off comes amid fears of a growing U.S. import tariff war with Canada, Mexico, and China, fueling inflation concerns that could complicate future Fed rate cuts. Analysts now see an increased likelihood of BTC dropping to $75,000, with Derive.xyz’s options market assigning a 22% probability of reaching that level by March 28—up from 10% last week.

Ether experienced extreme volatility, crashing as much as 24% across major exchanges. Prices briefly hit $2,065 on Deribit, marking the lowest level since the August 5 crash. The slide is Ethereum’s steepest since May 2021, with one-day at-the-money volatility spiking from 34% to 184%.

The broader crypto market is in freefall, with major tokens slumping over 25% in the past 24 hours. XRP, DOGE, and ADA have erased all gains since December, returning to pre-election levels. Futures liquidations reached $2.2 billion, the highest this year, with altcoin losses surpassing 40%-50% over the past month. The CoinDesk 20 Index fell 10%, while total market capitalization plunged 12%—its worst drop in over a year.

With rising macro uncertainty and market-wide liquidations, traders are bracing for more turbulence ahead.
