The official source reports this update: Jev update and many bug fixes and improvements. Smarter context, no embeddings required GPT Researcher now picks the context it sends to the LLM by usefulness, not similarity . Every passage scraped for a research question is scored by Jev on how useful it is for answering that question, and only the passages that help are kept. On a benchmark of 28 research tasks replayed on identical sources: Nothing is required. With TYPESAFE_API_KEY set, Jev is used. Without one, or if a Jev call fails, GPT Researcher falls back to local keyword (BM25) ranking, so you no longer need an embeddings provider for standard research. Report chat uses the same filter.
