research

Definition

Investigation aimed at producing new knowledge. Recently the word has also become a product category: "deep research" names an agent mode where a model runs many searches, reads the results, and writes a sourced report instead of answering in one shot. So in current papers the term may mean scholarship in general or this specific capability — context decides.
