The reception to OpenAI’s Deep Research agent has been nothing short of breathless: \"Deep Research is the best public-facing AI product Google has ever released . It's like having a college-educated researcher in your pocket.\" - Jason Calacanis “I have had [Deep Research] write a number of ten-page papers for me, each of them outstanding. I think of the quality as comparable to having a good PhD-level research assistant , and sending that person away with a task for a week or two , or maybe more. Except Deep Research does the work in five or six minutes .” - Tyler Cowen “Deep Research is one of the best bargains in technology .” - Ben Thompson “my very approximate vibe is that it can do a single-digit percentage of all economically valuable tasks in the world , which is a wild milestone.” - sama “Using Deep Research over the past few weeks has been my own personal AGI moment . It takes 10 mins to generate accurate and thorough competitive and market research (with sources) that previously used to take me at least 3 hours.” - OAI employee “It's like a bazooka for the curious mind” - Dan Shipper “Deep research can be seen as a new interface for the internet , in addition to being an incredible agent… This paradigm will be so powerful that in the future, navigating the internet manually via a browser will be \"old-school\" , like performing arithmetic calculations by hand.” - Jason We…","meta_description":"While “LLM-powered Search” is as old as Perplexity and SearchGPT, and open source projects like GPTResearcher and clones like OpenDeepResearch exist, the…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3718,"processing_state":"processed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/latent-space-ai-engineer/episodes/the-inventors-of-deep-research/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/latent-space-ai-engineer/the-inventors-of-deep-research.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
