Deep Research

We are excited to unveil DeepResearchTool, a powerful autonomous research capability within our AG2 framework. Inspired by OpenAI’s Deep Research, our tool is designed to tackle complex, multi-step research tasks efficiently, synthesizing insights from diverse online sources.

Installation

DeepResearchTool is built on top of Browser Use, which requires Python 3.11 or higher.

To get started with the DeepResearchTool, follow these steps:

1. Install AG2 with the browser-use extra:

   pip install ag2[openai,browser-use]
   
   If you have been using autogen or ag2, all you need to do is upgrade it using:

   pip install -U autogen[openai,browser-use]
   

   or

   pip install -U ag2[openai,browser-use]
   

   as autogen and ag2 are aliases for the same PyPI package.

2. Set up Playwright:

   # Installs Playwright and browsers for all OS
   playwright install
   # Additional command, mandatory for Linux only
   playwright install-deps
   

3. For running the code in Jupyter, use nest_asyncio to allow nested event loops.

   pip install nest_asyncio
   

You’re all set! Now you can start using browsing features in AG2.

Imports

import os
import nest_asyncio

from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, LLMConfig
from autogen.tools.experimental import DeepResearchTool

nest_asyncio.apply()

Agent Configuration

Configure the agents for the interaction.

• config_list defines the LLM configurations, including the model and API key.
• UserProxyAgent simulates user inputs without requiring actual human interaction (set to NEVER).
• AssistantAgent represents the AI agent, configured with the LLM settings.

llm_config = LLMConfig(api_type="openai", model="gpt-4o", api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])

user_proxy = UserProxyAgent(name="user_proxy", human_input_mode="NEVER")
with llm_config
    assistant = AssistantAgent(name="assistant")

DeepResearchTool Configuration

Once the DeepResearchTool is created, it needs to be registered to the agents.

deep_research_tool = DeepResearchTool(llm_config=llm_config)
deep_research_tool.register_for_execution(user_proxy)
deep_research_tool.register_for_llm(assistant)

Initiate Chat

result = user_proxy.initiate_chat(
    recipient=assistant,
    message="What was the impact of DeepSeek on stock prices and why?",
    max_turns=2,
)

user_proxy (to assistant):

What was the impact of DeepSeek on stock prices and why?

DecompositionCritic (to DecompositionAgent):

The subquestions provided cover distinct aspects of the investigation into the impact of DeepSeek search technology on stock prices. However, some overlap and redundancies can be identified. Here’s a refined list:

1. What is DeepSeek search technology and how does it function in the context of financial markets?
2. How has the introduction of DeepSeek search technology coincided with changes in stock prices?
3. Which specific stocks or sectors have demonstrated significant changes attributed to DeepSeek search technology?
4. What mechanisms or factors are responsible for DeepSeek search technology's influence on stock prices?

These subquestions cover the identification, impact, and mechanisms of the observed stock price changes without unnecessary repetition. Now, let's prepare the subquestions for processing.

I will now proceed with generating subquestions.

DeepSeek search technology significantly impacted stock prices, particularly in the technology sector, by introducing increased market volatility and substantial fluctuations. Here's a detailed breakdown:

### Overview
- **Impact of DeepSeek**: This AI-driven search technology from China caused disruptions in financial markets, particularly affecting U.S. tech stocks. Its introduction led to massive market capitalization losses, as seen in a trillion-dollar reduction in the Nasdaq index, heavily composed of tech companies.

### How DeepSeek Functions
- **Cost-Effectiveness and Innovation**: DeepSeek's V3 version introduced a highly cost-effective AI model that challenged the existing dominance of international tech firms. This led investors to reevaluate their holdings in these companies, fearing DeepSeek's potential to capture significant market share.

### Changes in Stock Prices
- **Tech Sector Impact**: The technology sector witnessed massive sell-offs, with companies like Nvidia facing severe drops in stock value. The overall tech industry lost billions of dollars following the DeepSeek announcements.
- **Software Stocks**: Some software stocks, perceived as beneficiaries of this shift, experienced positive investor sentiment contrary to other declining AI stocks.

### Mechanisms Influencing Stock Prices
1. **Market Erosion**: DeepSeek’s operational cost advantages and open-source nature disrupted major AI competitors, eroding their market share and prompting a reevaluation of tech stock valuations.
2. **Valuation Reassessments**: Concerns over tech stock valuations heightened market anxiety, driven by competitive threats from DeepSeek.

### Conclusion
Overall, DeepSeek challenged tech giants globally, leading to valuation adjustments and increased stock market volatility. This necessitated a broader reassessment of the technological landscape by investors, culminating in significant financial impacts.

This comprehensive understanding explains the observed effects on stock prices due to DeepSeek. TERMINATE
