Hugging Face released "Open Deep Research," an open-source AI research agent, just 24 hours after OpenAI launched its proprietary "Deep Research" feature. Using agent frameworks, Open Deep Research aims to replicate OpenAI's capabilities, enabling autonomous web browsing and research report generation. While OpenAI's Deep Research scores higher on benchmarks (67.36% vs. Hugging Face's 55.15% on GAIA), the open-source project highlights rapid development and community-driven innovation. Hugging Face plans to expand its features, including support for vision-based browsing and additional file formats, with the project already gaining traction among developers.
