Model ID: `o3-deep-research`

o3-deep-research is our most advanced model for deep research, 
designed to tackle complex, multi-step research tasks. It can 
search and synthesize information from across the internet as 
well as from your own data—brought in through MCP connectors.

Learn more about getting started with this model in our
[deep research](/api/docs/guides/deep-research) guide.

## Rate limits

Rate limits ensure fair and reliable access to the API by placing specific caps on requests, tokens, audio duration, or other usage within a given time period. Your usage tier determines how high these limits are set and automatically increases as you send more requests and spend more on the API.

### default

| Tier | RPM | TPM | Batch queue limit |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Tier 1 | 500 | 200,000 | 200,000 |
| Tier 2 | 5,000 | 450,000 | 300,000 |
| Tier 3 | 5,000 | 800,000 | 500,000 |
| Tier 4 | 10,000 | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 |
| Tier 5 | 10,000 | 30,000,000 | 10,000,000 |
