Dai Jifeng, a leading AI scientist and associate professor at Tsinghua University, and Chen Tianqiao, founder of the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute, recently launched the MiroMind Open Deep Research (Miro ODR) project, a high-performance, fully open-source AI research platform that aims to challenge global leaders in the field.
The MiroMind AI team, under Dai’s direction, revealed the initial version of Miro ODR, which achieved an impressive 82.4 score on the GAIA benchmark test. This performance surpassed not only OpenAI’s DeepResearch and Manus but also other prominent open-source and proprietary AI deep research models, positioning it as the strongest open-source model available from Monday.
The project, which includes four key subcomponents, is now accessible on popular open platforms such as GitHub and Hugging Face, signaling a commitment to transparency and collaborative progress in AI development.
Dai emphasized that the project is fully reproducible, with open access to core models, datasets, training methodologies, AI infrastructure, and the deep research agent framework. The team plans monthly updates and encourages the AI community to contribute toward building the most powerful deep research model possible.
