Konitzny logs by WebSocket how Deep Research reads pages: search returns Bing snippets of about 250 characters, open loads a window of median 5,700 characters, find searches within it like Ctrl-F. The reader is a text browser without JavaScript that never clicks. The first hit gets 40% of all openings; pages with many navigation links are read as content to about a third. Alt texts are read, being read does not mean being cited.
Methodically the closest counterpart to GPTSpy in the DACH region: network capture instead of output statistics, several accounts, validation against own crawls. The surface split (standard, thinking, deep research) is the axis along which our numbers and his can be laid side by side.
The article describes Deep Research, not the standard or thinking mode, and relies on free accounts and Bing. Its snippet length fits neither of our two signatures, which supports the separation of the pipelines by surface. The operations open and find match the names our introspection prompts (K14) return. His older observation that German users are researched in English we see confirmed for entity and image questions.
| Claim | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Three steps Search -> Open -> Find; Find is a text search inside the opened document | unverifiable | Deep Research not in the prompt set. open observed (Thinking), find only named via introspection K14. |
| Snippets ~250 characters, max ~285 (Bing) | outdated | In our data 202 (index) and 131-158 (scrape). Deep Research uses Bing per the article; our modes do not. |
| Reading window ~5,700 characters median, text browser without JS, never clicks | unverifiable | Server-side. |
| First source gets 40.7% of all openings; pages with 60+ links only 33% read as content | unverifiable | No open in the standard mode. |
| German prompts are researched internally in English (podcast 2025) | confirmed | English fan-outs at K6-01 (OpenAI leadership Sam Altman CEO biography), K11-01 (Allianz Arena Munich at night); mixed at K2-01. Metric from schema 14. |
