What the publisher says
As described on Microsoft Marketplace.
How It Works
The Research API runs an autonomous reasoning loop that scales with the complexity of the question. It plans its own search strategy, breaks the question into sub-questions, and manages context across hundreds or thousands of reasoning steps. At the highest effort levels, a single query can run more than 1,000 reasoning turns and process up to 10 million tokens, well beyond what any single LLM context window can hold.

Configurable Research Depth
The `research_effort` parameter controls how much compute the API allocates to a query. Higher effort means more searches, deeper source reading, and more cross-referencing at the cost of longer response times. Four tiers are available: `lite`, `standard`, `deep`, and `exhaustive`. Pricing is fixed per tier.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.
