NEW Grok 3 Deep Search VS OpenAI Deep Research (Save $200/mo!)🤖 + Perplexity Deep Research AI Agent

There has been so many different AI updates new features llms that have been coming out in the last few weeks in this industry it is quite frankly hard to keep up and a lot of you know on this channel the last week or so we've been covering many different ways to use deep research whether that be open AI deep research or different open source Alternatives like we've covered open source deep research we covered web UI deep research we covered another rapper

Deep research which is a gooey interface to open- Source deep research we covered Scara deep research which is 100% for free we even covered perplexity deep research which just got launched this week and we cover the OG Gemini deep research and I've already said deep research about 10 times and the video has just begun so I think that shows you how much demand there is for deep researching AI models now unless you've been living under a rock in the AI space

Lately you probably already know that Elon Musk just released his new grock 3 model and I posted his tweet a couple days ago where he announced that grock 3 release will be on Monday and it is the smartest AI on Earth and of course this is a very big and bold claim now for those of you who may not know about deep research by open AI it got a lot of hype because people were super super impressed with the PHD level

Output that it is able to produce now the only issue with open ai's deep research is that it's hidden behind a $200 per month pay wall so not everyone could afford that nor does everyone want to give $200 a month to a Clos Source company like open aai so in today's video we're going to be taking a look at grock 3 Elon musk's new model and if you didn't already know they have their very own deep research functionality I will give

Them Kudos because they are the only company I've seen lately that has not used the exact phrase deep research and they're just using deep search that's about as original as we're going to get here but we're going to dive into it see how it actually compares to some of these other deep researching models we're going to compare it to open ai's deep research as well as perplexity deep research so we're going to take a look at all this and see where

Gro 3 deep search lands on the total pole for the leaderboard of the best deep research model so without Ado guys let's dive right into it all right so before I dive into Gro and doing the different tests between all these deep research models I want to quickly go over some key things that you know has been happening in the last 24 hours with grock 3 just so in case you guys don't know about this model so grock 3 speaks right

Here and I'll leave a link to all the links I cover in today's videos as well as this Twitter thread right here and grock voice understands tone inflection pacing and if you'll see here this is the live stream I would definitely recommend you guys checking out the live stream if you didn't check it out already and then Gro 3 early version is first model ever to break 14400 score on IM Arena and grog 3 is also number one across all categories

So overall hard prompts coding math creative writing you name it and we have models like GPT 40 Gemini 2.0 pro deep seek R1 01 CLA Sonic 3.5 clae 2.5 Max and 03 mini now if you don't have access to Gro 3 right now you can actually go to im arena. a and I'll leave this link down below you can simply click on Direct chat and then you'll have early grock 3 selected right here and you can simply go ahead and talk

To it okay I actually just sent it a message and you can see here network error due to high traffic please regenerate this page so you may or may not be able to get it depending on the traffic right now it seems like it is getting a lot of people trying to use it now Gro is learning way faster than any other so if we look at some of these benchmarks here mass Science coding we can see Gro 3 and Gro

3 Mini at pretty much the top of most of these um and then we have Gemini 2 Pro deep seek V3 CLA on 3.5 GPT 40 now it doesn't list 03 03 mini here or deep seek R1 also to xai doubled Colossus GPU cluster to 200k gpus in 92 days to train grock 3 so this is crazy this is 15 times the compute from grock 2 and then Gro can do deep search so this is of course what we're going to

Cover in just a moment and then grock and Optimus will go to Mars in 2026 in Starship if all goes well now a few things to note with Gro 3 so I asked it here is it available to everyone are only paid users so as of February 18 2025 Gro 3 is not available to everyone and it is currently accessible only to paid users specifically those who are subscribed to the X Premium Plus or X AI super grock cheer X Premium

Plus subscribers who pay a higher monthly fee recently increased to around 50 bucks per month now you'll see here I am currently on premium plus right here which is 56 Canadian dollars per month now I actually subscribed to this plan the night of when Gro got released and I believe I subscribed and it was about 27 bucks Canadian maybe a little bit more around that price they basically added about 20 bucks Canadian at least over here to this plan and I

Asked it here if I'm on the old pricing do I get to keep it or get grandfathered I don't think so I don't think that's the case so I think I'm just you're going to be upgraded to this new higher pricing tier now Super Gro I believe hasn't been released yet but it's going to be around 30 bucks per month so if we compare that to like Claud son at 3.5 perplexity that's around the similar price as well as chat gbt

Plus so it is still substantially cheaper than the $200 per month opening eyes deep research but 56 bucks a month right here of course it includes a bunch of Twitter premium features X premium features but uh if it was just for the model this would definitely be on the higher end of pricing for an AI model all right so let's go ahead and get started with our deep research so I'm going to go to gro.com so you can actually access grock

Either at gro.com or on your Twitter page you simply go to your Twitter and then or your ex I keep saying Twitter and then click grock over here and then you can talk to it here but I'm going to use it on the dedicated grock website so we're going to go ahead and I'm going to paste in this prompt right here so do research on xai's new grock 3 specifically it's pricing how to access its capabilities and most importantly its deep

Research feature and how it compares to open ai's deep research feature and perplex these deep research price quality and recommendations for use cases make sure that you have deep search toggle on right here roock 3 is right here and we're going to go ahead and click on send so we can see it is thinking now it's you know we can see the time right here it's researching so it did 10 search results right now it's browsing those different results another 10

Results another 10 results so one thing you'll notice is that it is very quick and we can see the web pages starting to accumulate right here we're at 36 web pages you can see the search results on the right here now while this is going I'm actually going to copy the same prompt and paste this bad boy over into perplexity and make sure I'm using the Deep research right here and we're going to click on search if you're not familiar with

Perplex deep research it's going to go about it in a similar process so we can see here it is planning its deep research okay now it is doing its different search queries reading the different uh you know websites right here and we'll come back to this in just a second I'm also going to do the same thing over here in open AI deep research so we're pasting this in right here we're going to click on deep research now open a eyes

Chat interface right here and the dedicated gro.com uh interface right here definitely have some similarities of course now you will see here with open AI it is actually the only one that is going to ask followup questions based on your initial prompt and this is something that I really like um some of the other deep research you know open source ones and whatnot I covered on this channel do the same thing but I think it's very important for a tool to

Do this because it's actually going to give it a lot more context and before you go about doing deep research you want to make make sure that llm has all the contacts so for something like Gro deep research or perplexity deep research where it doesn't ask you a followup question I would just really recommend to make sure you give it as much context as possible are you tired of pouring thousands of dollars into appointment sets only to watch leads slip away

Imagine having a team of elite sales agents booking qualified appointments for you around the clock no more wasted time on training no more frustration with performance and no more draining your budget on inconsistent and expensive call centers introducing stride agents AI powered appointment sets that work 24/7 never get tired and book appointments while you sleep trained on thousands of successful conversations our AI agents outperform human teams at just one tenth of the cost join the ranks of businesses that doubled their

It's going to start conducting it now while that's all going on let's take a look at grock's Deep research and it is completed right now we can see it took 42 seconds so very very quick we can see we got 82 sources right here and we can see the whole process so the thinking process the researching process comparing all the different tools evaluating the tools and we can either expand this right here to make it bigger and we can also show

The thinking process right here so now we're showing the thinking process and this isn't the exact thinking process it's has a layer of abstraction to it and this is of course so another company just can't distill this model like we you know saw claims with with open Ai and deep seek but I will say that the thought process here that you get to see definitely looks like it's more accurate um to the actual thought process than something like open AI open

AI kind of seems like it's more a summarization of the thought process in different steps this is cool to see looks a little bit more like deep seeks and then if we scroll down right here we can see our output so we can see key points pricing and access capabilities and deep research features comparison with open Ai and perplexity a detailed analysis going over everything right here talking about how to access it talking about capabilities and deep research features now this

Is one thing that is actually just completely wrong we can see a price comparison right here and it's showing showing all the different um you know providers right here and how to get access to the Deep research and it's saying that open AI is deep research the access cost is 20 bucks per month for chat GPT Pro it's saying 20 bucks per month and it's saying chat GPT Pro right here which is the $200 month plan but it's saying $20 a

Month right here right here which is incorrect as you can see right here you can actually only access deep research as of now on the $200 per month plan then we have a quality comparison right here recommendations for different use cases and a conclusion and then our key citations right here so overall pretty nice output you could regenerate here copy share you could share on X love this whatever all that good stuff I'm going to go ahead and copy this entire

Output and I'm going to go ahead and paste it into this Google doc right here now this Google doc will be in the description down below for free so you can actually do a deep dive analysis and compare all the different outputs that we're going to get in this video but I'm also going to go ahead to word counter here and paste in this output and you can see that we got 1446 words and 9,856 characters okay and I do like

How it shows the seconds right here so we got 42 seconds on Gro now this is something that perplexity doesn't show I think it's very important to show the time that it performed its deep research we take a look at a perplexities right here you'll see a very similar uh log right here of all the different sources all the different steps it took and the learnings it found from the different queries you can see here we got 49 different sources and

We got our output right here so XIs overview executive summary pricing architecture marketing positioning comparative cost analysis okay so um perplexities is also making the same mistake so I'm assuming somewhere on the web it has this information that open AI plus $20 per month includes deep research so I'm curious to see I'm I'm probably pretty certain that open AI won't make this mistake but if it does that's going to be an issue we can see here it also even included Google

Gemini right here talking about access Pathways and Technical integration technical capabilities and performance we have Benchmark performance here which I like that it does this we have deep research architecture and competitive analysis we have use case recommendations and then strategic implications and future outlook I'm going to go ahead and copy this and paste it in as well to this document and then I'm also going to paste it here into the word counter and we can see that it has 992 words

7,159 characters so about 500 Words less than grock's output but let's go ahead and take a look on open AI output now so we can see open AIS has completed it took a total of 8 minutes and it got 27 sources so my prediction is that it's going to be a lot more quality over quantity so we only got 27 sources that we could literally see right here we can see all the activity going on right here where it actually went

To and how it thought about it each from the learnings then we can see the different citations right here of the sources um but let's go ahead and take a look so pricing capabilities deep research comparison so pricing accessibility this is talking about Gro 3 xai and then open AI chat GPT and deep research okay so this is the only one that actually got this right basically saying open AI deep research is not yet on the plus by default and it's

Mentioning chat GPT Pro the $200 per month plan so already from what I can see here it's a little bit more factual and then accessibility and then and then it's talking about perplexity right here and then capabilities going through that and this is very indepth going over each spefic specific one going over different nitty-gritty things and then grock 3's deep research the feature right here very in depth just around grock 3 and then all the different models in a table right

Here and this is a very in-depth table with all the different citations and many different things that it's comparing and then best use cases going over many different use cases from legal academic accuracy and then conclusion so very long very in depth just as expected let's go ahead and paste in this output right here into the document okay and then I'm also going to paste this into the word counter right here and we can see that it is 7,622 words 49,1

123 characters so by far the biggest so it literally has more words in this output then perplexity has characters in its output so all in all guys I would definitely say there is a few different use cases when you may want to use a specific tool for example obviously open AI $200 a month plan is very powerful and it is as of now the most in-depth research that I have personally seen But if you don't need it to be that in-depth

For what you're doing then you may want to go with something like perplexity or Gro 3 you also may just not want to pay $200 a month where these other options could be a very good alternative perplexity and Gro are going to be very quick when it comes to their deep research now one cool benefit that I would believe grock would have and I'm not seeing it here it looks like these are mostly just web pages but it would be interesting

I don't see that it's searching X um I'm assuming if it doesn't have it at the moment they're going to integrate it so it can search like X post and everything but but that is one big angle that x a and Gro have over a lot of different llms is that it has access to the X data which is you know the biggest news site in the world but I think it definitely is very impressive where Gro stands right now and

How fast they've been able to build things and catch up to be one of the top models in the space right now I'm definitely going to be doing more videos with grock 3 especially when it comes available in the API so make sure to stay tun for that but let me know what your thoughts are in the comments down below what do you think is the best deep researching tool are you on open AI with $200 a month are you on
