Updates to deep research
We’re introducing improvements to deep research in ChatGPT to help produce more accurate, credible reports with greater control. You can now focus research on specific websites and a larger collection of connected apps as trusted sources.

A redesigned sidebar entry point and fullscreen report view make it easier to start, review, and manage research in one place. Create and edit a research plan before it begins, and track progress with the ability to adjust direction mid-run.

Rolling out throughout today to Plus and Pro users, with Free and Go users following in the coming days.

GPT-5.2 Instant Update
We’re making an update to GPT-5.2 Instant in ChatGPT and the API that improves response style and quality.

Users should notice responses that are more measured and grounded in tone, in a way that’s more contextually appropriate to the conversation. The model also tends to output clearer, more relevant answers to advice-seeking and how-to questions, more reliably placing the most important info upfront.
