Deep Analysis falls underneath the class of an AI agent as a result of it will possibly act independently. You successfully give it a activity and off it goes to analysis it for you earlier than utilizing its AI to use reasoning earlier than coming to conclusions.
From Professional to Plus
Deep Analysis began off on the Professional tier of ChatGPT, which prices a whopping $200 (£165 /AU$325) a month, however in a short time moved to the extra affordable $20 (£16 / AU$30) Plus tier, the place I’ve been having fun with it for the previous few weeks.

You’ll discover that these completely different LLMs are extra helpful in terms of doing advanced duties that require extra reasoning, to not point out that you just get an opportunity to mess around with the analysis preview of OpenAI’s very newest mannequin, ChatGPT-4.5
