Big move from OpenAI! O mode is now free...

To ensure that everyone who uses ChatGPT for free can experience its powerful voice communication infrastructure, a version of the advanced voice mode powered by GPT-4o Mini has been introduced. According to the company, this new version is similar to GPT-4o in terms of natural speaking speed and tone, but operates at a lower cost. Plus subscribers who gain access to the GPT-4o-based advanced voice mode have five times more usage rights compared to free users, according to OpenAI.

The company took another important step tonight. OpenAI had first opened the Deep Research tool, which was introduced in recent weeks, to ChatGPT Pro subscribers. The company, which made an announcement last night, stated that the system was opened to all ChatGPT Plus, Team, Edu and Enterprise users within certain limits. The advanced deep research tool focuses on complex tasks and can conduct detailed research on the internet. The system, which finds, analyzes and synthesizes hundreds of online sources to create a comprehensive report according to the given commands, uses a special “o3” model optimized for browsing the internet and data analysis in the process. The company explains about Deep Research, which uses reasoning for searching, interpreting and analyzing large amounts of text, images and PDFs, “…an important step towards our goal of developing AGI..”

In the past months, we have also come across Gemini Deep Research. Google has stated the following about its own deep research system: “Gemini Deep Research is your personal research assistant that helps you get detailed information on any subject. It breaks your request into several relevant research questions, automatically analyzes sites on your behalf to find relevant information, and creates comprehensive reports on any subject. It does all this in a few minutes. Your reports are presented in a comprehensive viewer that you can edit with Gemini or even open in Google Docs. It is available in English in Gemini Advanced as part of the Google One AI Premium plan. Try it by selecting “Gemini 1.5 Pro with Deep Research” from the Gemini Advanced model drop-down menu.”

The “Operator” system had previously caused quite a stir. The “Operator” system, which can perform transactions on websites instead of users, was launched last week for ChatGPT Pro users in the US. The web-based system, currently in preview, is described by the company as “an assistant that can use its own browser to perform the required tasks.” The Operator, which can be used from the link here when it is available to everyone, can analyze all the elements on a web page opened in its own browser via written commands, enter text when needed, click on buttons or scroll through the page.

By displaying all the steps it performs in real time, the Operator offers users the potential to save significant time on many issues such as making a dinner reservation or finding suitable hotels. The Operator can think to fix itself and, if it gets stuck, it gives control directly to the user. The system, which asks the user to take control when a website asks for sensitive information such as login, will be available to all paid subscribers as part of ChatGPT in the future.
