o4-mini-deep-research is OpenAI's faster, more affordable deep research model—ideal for tackling complex, multi-step research tasks. Note: This model always uses the 'web_search' tool which adds additional cost.
Real jobs this model can take on, based on what it can read and how it’s priced.

Standard OpenAI fields, grouped by what they control. Anything not listed is accepted and ignored.
The hard numbers — what it can take in, what it can give back, and where it stops.
No. OpenAI has retired o4 Mini Deep Research and it can no longer be called through OpenDunes. This page is kept as a record of what it did. The rest of the catalog is unaffected — every model still listed is billed per token in dinars from the same balance.
o4 Mini Deep Research reads up to 200K tokens in one request, and writes back up to roughly 75,000 words at once.
It reads text, images and files and replies with text. It also supports calling your own tools, replying in structured JSON, step-by-step reasoning and streaming its answer as it writes.
Yes. Top up your OpenDunes balance in dinars with a CIB or Edahabia card, then spend it on any model in the catalog from that same balance. No foreign card, no currency conversion, no subscription. o4 Mini Deep Research is not among them any more, but its replacements from the same lab are.
o4 Mini Deep Research is built by OpenAI, released on Oct 10, 2025. OpenDunes served it unchanged — same model, same weights, billed in dinars — until the lab retired it.
