Perplexity AI has announced that its latest research tool, Deep Research, is now available through its Sonar API. The company expects developers to create a variety of custom research agents and workflows using Sonar.

Limited spots are available for the event, and interested participants can RSVP at https://pplx.ai/devmeetup.

OpenAI Expands Deep Research & Advanced Voice Access

OpenAI has announced that Deep Research is rolling out to all ChatGPT Plus, Team, Edu, and Enterprise users. 

“Since the initial launch, we've made some improvements to Deep Research: embedded images with citations in the output and better understanding and referencing of uploaded files,” OpenAI stated.

“Deep research out for ChatGPT plus users! One of my favourite things we have ever shipped,” OpenAI chief Sam Altman wrote on X. 

Users in the Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu tiers will receive 10 Deep Research queries per month, while Pro users will now have 120 queries per month.

OpenAI also announced that a version of Advanced Voice powered by GPT-4o mini is rolling out to all ChatGPT free users for daily preview across platforms. “The natural conversation pace and tone are similar to the GPT-4o version while being more cost-effective to serve,” OpenAI added.
