According to The Rundown AI, Google released an autonomous research agent, Deep Research Max, that achieved 85.9% on BrowseComp, a benchmark for locating hard-to-find facts online, outperforming GPT-5.4 at 58.9% and Claude Opus 4.6 at 45.1%. As reported by The Rundown AI, Deep Research Max is powered by Gemini 3.1 Pro, designed to run overnight, and costs roughly $2–$5 per due diligence report, addressing enterprise-scale research workflows. According to The Rundown AI citing Google’s launch blog, enterprises can schedule a nightly cron job to generate exhaustive due diligence reports by morning, signaling a shift toward automated research operations. As reported by The Rundown AI, FactSet, S&P, and PitchBook are building MCP servers so the agent can plug directly into premium financial data, creating opportunities for investment research, private markets analysis, and risk intelligence.
