OpenAI announced a GitHub integration for the Deep Research tool in ChatGPT, allowing users to link repositories to ChatGPT for compiling reports based on queries.
GitHub is a platform for hosting code repositories and was acquired by Microsoft in 2018. OpenAI shared an example of browsing through a repository to demonstrate the feature's capabilities.
This integration is part of OpenAI's efforts to cater to developers, following the acquisition of Windsurf for $3 billion and release of Codex CLI tool for code generation.
Newly released o3 and o4-mini models by OpenAI show improved performance in benchmarks like Codeforces competition code compared to their predecessors.
