How does o3-deep-research differ from standard o3?
It conducts extended multi-step investigation rather than applying standard chain-of-thought reasoning. Responses take longer but are more comprehensive, synthesizing information from multiple angles.
How long do responses take?
Significantly longer than standard models, potentially minutes rather than seconds. The extended time reflects the depth of investigation performed.
What types of research questions work best?
Complex questions that benefit from exploring multiple perspectives, synthesizing diverse sources, and building comprehensive analyses. Simple factual queries don't need this model.
How does AI Gateway handle authentication for o3-deep-research?
AI Gateway accepts a single API key or OIDC token for all requests. You don't embed OpenAI credentials in your application; AI Gateway routes and authenticates on your behalf.
Can I use o3-deep-research for real-time chat?
No. Its extended processing time makes it unsuitable for real-time applications. Use it for background research tasks where thoroughness outweighs response time.
What are typical response times?
This page shows live performance metrics. Expect significantly longer response times than standard models due to the extended research process.
