Deep Research
Google's research helper that searches the web and writes detailed reports, updated for developers building research tools.
This came out before trckr began following Gemini API, so it was added on Nov 8 without an alert. Its release date comes from models.dev.
Key facts

Can I use it?
In an app
No app mentioned so far.
For developers
Developers can use it now through an API: How developers plug a model into their own apps and pay per use. A model that's "in the API" can be used by programmers, even if it isn't in a chat app yet..
Download
Not downloadable: it runs on the maker's own servers.
Price and limits
What developers pay to use it through the API: How developers plug a model into their own apps and pay per use. A model that's "in the API" can be used by programmers, even if it isn't in a chat app yet., per million Tokens: The small chunks of text a model reads and writes, about three-quarters of a word each. Prices and limits are counted in tokens. sent (input) or written back (output), and how much it can take in at once.

- Context window: How much a model can keep in mind at once: your question, any files you share and its own replies. Measured in tokens; 1,000 tokens is about 750 words.

The details
New versions of Google's Deep Research Agent: An AI that doesn't just answer but takes steps on its own to finish a task: searching the web, running code or using apps. add collaborative planning, visualization, MCP server integration and File Search.
Model ID: The exact name developers type to use a model, like gpt-5-mini. New IDs often show up in a lab's systems before the official announcement, which is how trckr spots many releases early.
