Available to all Copilot users
On Wednesday, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman shared via an X post that the Think Deeper feature was made available for all Copilot users at no additional cost. The feature leverages OpenAI’s O1 reasoning model to deliver higher-quality responses to complex prompts.
What is Think Deeper?
The O1 model was trained to "think before it speaks," and as a result, takes a bit longer to process your query — around 30 seconds, according to Microsoft. This is especially useful for STEM-related tasks such as coding, analysis, and advanced math problems. Other use cases include in-depth advice and planning.
How does it work?
Think Deeper helps you by providing higher-quality responses to complex prompts. It’s especially useful for tasks that require advanced reasoning and problem-solving skills. The feature is available for all Copilot users, including those who are not subscribers to Copilot Pro.
Accessing Think Deeper
To access the feature, sign into Copilot using your Microsoft account. Once you do, next to the text box, you will see the "Think Deeper" button, which you can click to activate the model when answering your prompt. As a free user, I already had access to the feature.
How to use Think Deeper
Upon clicking "Think Deeper," you will be given sample prompts. Beyond this feature, Suleyman shared that Microsoft has so much more in the pipeline. After trailing behind OpenAI for a bit, Microsoft may be gearing up to reclaim its throne.
Conclusion
Think Deeper is a powerful feature that can help you with complex tasks and problems. With its advanced reasoning model, it can provide higher-quality responses to complex prompts. And the best part is that it’s available for all Copilot users, including those who are not subscribers to Copilot Pro.
