OpenAI Announces New ChatGPT Tool

OpenAI, whose ChatGPT spearheaded the emergence of generative artificial intelligence into the public consciousness in 2022, said its new tool "achieves in tens of minutes what would take a human many hours."
US tech giant OpenAI has unveiled a ChatGPT tool, dubbed "deep exploration", ahead of the Tokyo summits, while Chinese chatbot DeepSeek is sharpening the AI competition. 
AI newcomer DeepSeek has Silicon Valley in a frenzy, with its supposed low cost and high performance prompting calls for US developers to work faster. 
OpenAI, whose ChatGPT spearheaded the emergence of generative AI into the public consciousness in 2022, said its new tool "accomplishes in tens of minutes what would take a human many hours." 
"Deep Research is the next OpenAI agent that can do the work for you on its own - you give it a prompt and ChatGPT will find, analyse and synthesise hundreds of online sources to create a comprehensive researcher-level report," the statement said. 
In a live-streamed video address, OpenAI researchers showed how the tool can synthesize data from web searches to help recommend what ski equipment to buy for a snow vacation in Japan. 
OpenAI head Sam Altman is in Tokyo, where later Monday he will meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba as well as Masayoshi Son, head of Japanese technology investment giant SoftBank Group. 
SoftBank and OpenAI are part of U.S. President Donald Trump's announced "StartGate" drive to invest up to $500 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States. 
Sohn attended Trump's inauguration, which was followed by the announcement that SoftBank would lead the project to build artificial intelligence infrastructure in the US alongside cloud giant Oracle. 
Ishiba is expected to visit Washington to meet Trump for the leaders' first in-person meeting later this week. | BGNES
