Announced in Tokyo, the launch coincided with news of a partnership between OpenAI and SoftBank to expand AI-driven business services in Japan.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, speaking at a business forum, positioned deep research as a step towards AI automating complex analytical work.

"This is a system that I think can do — this is just an estimate of mine — but I think can do a single-digit percentage of all economically valuable tasks in the world," Altman said, according to AFP.

While some suspect China's AI challenger has reverse-engineered US technology, Altman remains unfazed.

"DeepSeek is certainly an impressive model, but we believe we will continue to push the frontier and deliver great products, so we’re happy to have another competitor," he told AFP, dismissing speculation of legal action.



Altman confirmed ongoing discussions with British-American designer Jony Ive to develop next-generation AI devices. However, a prototype remains years away.

As the AI landscape evolves, OpenAI is focused on maintaining its lead — not just through innovation, but by embedding itself deeper into global markets.

And for now, Altman appears confident that the company’s approach will keep it ahead of the pack.
