OpenAI is enhancing its offerings with several key updates, including a new document viewer for ChatGPT's deep research tool and significant upgrades to its Responses API. These developments, announced on February 10, 2026, signal advancements in AI agent capabilities and address challenges in long-context workflows, according to multiple sources.
The Verge reported that OpenAI is updating ChatGPT's deep research tool with a full-screen viewer. This new feature allows users to scroll through and navigate specific areas of AI-generated reports, enhancing the user experience. The built-in viewer also includes a table of contents for easy navigation, as demonstrated in a video shared by OpenAI.
Simultaneously, OpenAI is upgrading its Responses API, as reported by VentureBeat. These updates include Server-side Compaction and Hosted Shell, which are designed to improve the performance of AI agents. "With OpenAI's latest updates to its Responses API...the company is signaling that the era of the limited agent is waning," wrote Carl Franzen of VentureBeat.
Another VentureBeat article highlighted the emergence of "observational memory" as a technology that could significantly reduce AI agent costs. Developed by Mastra, this open-source technology prioritizes persistence and stability over dynamic retrieval, potentially cutting costs by a factor of ten and outperforming Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems on long-context benchmarks.
The advancements in agentic AI are also being considered for their potential impact on global business services (GBS). VentureBeat noted that while 2025 was anticipated to be the year of agentic AI, its widespread deployment has been slower than expected. "While 2025 was supposed to be the year of agentic AI, it didn't turn out that way," according to VentureBeat Contributing Editor Taryn Plumb.
In other news, Wikipedia editors are debating whether to blacklist Archive.today, according to Ars Technica. The archive site was allegedly used to direct a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against a blogger. Editors are considering three options: removing Archive.today links and adding the site to the spam blacklist, deprecating the site while keeping existing links, or maintaining the status quo.
