And I don’t mean, “I’ve been waiting 20 minutes, what’s taking so long?”
When I ask a research question, it starts off like it always did: searching, selecting sources, compiling information, etc., all in rapid succession. However, at some point, it starts taking longer and longer between searches, new tasks, and other activity.
It’s been over an hour now, and it’s still working. New items are still being added to the research activity, but it takes over five minutes for a new item to appear. At the beginning, you can barely keep up with what it’s doing.
I understand that the context window progressively fills up, meaning it has more information to take into account. But here’s the thing: this wasn’t the case when Deep Research first came out. Why is this issue showing up now? It feels like OpenAI is allocating less computing power to each research task.
Does anyone else have this issue as well?
