OpenAIProprietaryPending Human Review

o4-mini-deep-research is the faster, less expensive deep research specialization of o4-mini. It performs tool-based research across the web and supplied data to synthesize reports, using reasoning while balancing research quality against execution cost. It was separately offered in the Responses API. Its access to research tools should not be confused with unrestricted custom function calling.
