🔍 OpenAI: Free Deep Research + New Open Model Incoming

OpenAI is opening doors—literally and figuratively.

This week, two big drops hit:

  • Free Deep Research: Now available to free ChatGPT users (5/month until May 25th).

  • Rumored Open Model: A downloadable, API-free LLM set to challenge Meta’s LLaMA 4.

Let’s break it down:

  • Deep Research (Lite) is powered by a trimmed version of O4 Mini—lean, still smart, and cheaper to run

  • Plus/Pro users will still get the original Deep Research until they hit usage limits, then switch to Lite

  • The upcoming open model is rumored to:

     – Run locally on your machine
     – Beat Meta and Deepseek on performance
     – Automatically hand off tough queries to closed models via API

🧠 Prediction: We’re inching toward hybrid LLMs—models that live on your device, know when they’re outmatched, and quietly escalate to something stronger. AI that understands its own limits? That’s a step toward autonomy.

Copilot

🧑‍💼 Microsoft 365 Copilot Evolves into Your AI Agent

Microsoft is going agentic—and not just in buzzwords.

Its latest 365 Copilot updates introduce:

  • AI-powered search inside your documents and inbox

  • Copilot Notebooks for organized, context-aware chat sessions

  • Agent Store with ready-made bots like Researcher, Analyst, and Jira Coach

The Researcher agent can dive into topics for you. Analyst can crunch data across Excel, Word, and other tools to output graphs and insights automatically. It’s Copilot with actual initiative.

💼 Takeaway: Microsoft is turning Office into a proactive coworker, not just a helpful toolbar. With deep context and an agent marketplace, 365 could become the enterprise layer where AI gets serious.

📱 Perplexity’s iOS Assistant: The Siri We Were Promised

Perplexity rolled out its new iOS Assistant, and it’s basically a power-user version of Siri.

It can:
• Play media, podcasts, or hard-to-find videos
• Book rides, reservations, or move your meetings
• Set reminders and check your calendar via natural prompts

🎙️ “Book me dinner in San Diego at 7 PM.”
🗓️ “What’s on my calendar next month?”

Some of it still feels beta (glitches and missed prompts), but the direction is crystal clear.

🚀 Prediction: AI agents on mobile will blend memory, search, and action. Siri’s days as the passive assistant are numbered.
