On: Introducing deep research

[btown]

Also named specifically to muddle the SEO for the term "deep." Nothing that OpenAI does is unintentional.

It's more likely this is a response to Gemini Deep Research released in December

That Google product isnt that good, it can't really replace research done by a person.

[nicce → petra]

Just one tool in the toolbox. It helps to see if some sources have been missed.

[sadeshmukh → petra]

Nobody was going to hire a researcher for a quick question.

[alvah → petra]

It absolutely can replace the research done by one person, for my use case at least. It’s also available on their $20/month subscription, unlike OpenAI’s $200/month.

Two birds with one stone: timing for Deepseek and feature for Gemini

Google publicly announced a model named "Deep Research" on December 11th: https://blog.google/products/gemini/google-gemini-deep-resea...

Does the naming scheme they've used for models so far suggest that they care about SEO?

[leonheld → btown]

Oh God, this is such an astute observation. I think it worked so well on me that I didn't even think about the "deep" portion initially. Goes to show how effective these things are psychologically.

I have never believed a conspiracy theory more instantly. Deep Search vs. DeepSeek is way more than enough to confuse the average layman! Especially when you're googling something you heard about at work a few hours ago, or on Bloomberg TV

[bonoboTP → bbor]

You might as well say that DeepSeek wanted to cause confusion with DeepMind. Deep isn't such a distinguishing name, deep learning has been a buzzword since 2012.

[viraptor → bonoboTP]

Deepmind is not a consumer product. Gemini is part of it but nobody calls it deepmind.

[bonoboTP → viraptor]

The point is, "deep" is an extremely generic word in the AI space.
