Selection Decision

Selected — Critical negative evidence. OpenAI Deep Research is one of the most capable AI research tools, but its leaked system prompt is a lightweight conversational interface prompt focused on tool integration. It contains zero analytical framework components — no probability language, no bias assessment, no evidence scoring, no self-audit. OpenAI's approach relies on reinforcement learning training rather than prompt-based methodology.
