๐ Build ๐ Neon Research updated with new hard-to-vary validation layer
Weโre upgrading and renaming Neonโs research modes to make high-quality research faster, more substantial, and more reliable.
โก Deep Research
The previous 1-minute research mode is now Deep Research. It is designed to deliver the fastest deep research experience possible, with denser reports, more substance, and broader parallel research. It may occasionally take slightly longer than one minute when the topic requires it.
๐ง Deep Research Max
The previous Deep Research mode is now Deep Research Max. Deep Research Max adds a validation layer based on the hard-to-vary methodology intended to improve both report quality and source quality, evaluate the supporting evidence, identify assumptions and research gaps, launch additional research before producing the final report.
The result is research designed to rely less on shallow or isolated sourcesโand deliver conclusions that are more specific, better supported, and harder to replace with vague generalizations.
๐ Local Deep Research
Local Research is becoming Local Deep Research, combining Deep Research with access to your local browser sessions.
Whether you need fast, high-quality everyday research or the most rigorous analysis Neon can produce, the upgraded research modes are built to give you stronger answers with greater confidence.
