DeepSec started the initial artificial intelligence competition during the beginning of 2025 by introducing a model competing against ChatGPT while Chinese artificial intelligence organizations challenged American leadership in this sector which previously maintained its dominance.
OpenAI moved promptly after DeepSec because their CEO Sam Altman promised to expedite his company's model developments.
ChatGPT received two new features after a first option launched at the end of January under the name “o3-Mini” to enhance efficiency and the second option launched on February 2 under “Deep Research”. What are the specifics of these features?
A miniature model capable of logical thinking.
OpenAI launched the O 1 model in 2024 as its most advanced AI model because it could perform logical reasoning better than other AI solutions from the company.
The "O3-Mini" model matches "O1" functionality while using a compact design with quality level above "ChatGPT" for free use. This represents an optimal power-to-cost ratio as a direct reaction to "DeepSec R1" which provides complete free logical thinking.
The main distinction between conventional models and logical thinking models involves the capability of the latter to generate results through systematic steps which replicate the way humans think. The model approaches questions without analysis for a solution instead it resolves questions by following an ordered method which produces logical appropriate answers.
The model produces better quality and accurate work than traditional systems because of this new capability that extends across all its tasks including text and code writing.
The O3-Mini model provides enhanced performance and precision in ChatGPT responses although its limitations reduce its strength when compared to O1. The model serves well without requiring a paid subscription.
Deeper research capability
OpenAI developed Deep Search as a second feature to handle Deep Seek by providing users with enhanced searching capabilities until they locate desired results no matter where they exist on the web.
The company explains that this feature exists for users who demand deep search functionality in different areas including academic work needing specific details or choosing new products through multiple source access and summary.
Through its interface this system functions as an investigative assistant which performs comprehensive research to present its findings to users. The new feature operates through Chat GPT but exists as an AI Agent engineered to perform one specialized operation.
Users must abide by two usage limitations on the new feature since it operates within paid form versions but requires 100 utilizations per month because of its computational demands which becomes clear through extended response times spanning from five to thirty minutes.
Are the new features different from the previous ChatGPT?
The model received new updates that demonstrate progress in functionality and expands its practical applications. The company continuously focuses on proving its professional usage to attract more business. The O3-Mini model now supports logical thinking which enables Chat GPT usage through programming as well as academic processes requiring result achievement knowledge from users.
This new deep search update addresses an enduring issue in "Chat GPT" since its launch because previous responses lacked sufficient depth for professional reliance until this feature enabled experts to trust the system for academic use to a greater extent.
Quick response to Deep Sick
These added features represent an immediate and targeted response to DeepSec because it functions as an alert system demonstrating Chinese technological advancement. Regardless of its source code base the advancements achieved by DeepSec merit admiration because they signal an approaching Chinese dominance in this field.
OpenAI added these two features to create an immediate answers to how DeepSec surpassed ChatGPT before it featured logical reasoning capabilities which they have nearly matched.
