## Parameters

### Required Parameters
* **input** (string): A comprehensive description of the research task, question, or topic.

### Optional Parameters
* **model** (string): Controls research depth and latency:
  * `mini`: Optimized for narrow tasks, low latency, and highly targeted subjects.
  * `pro`: Deep-dive multi-perspective research for broad and complex topics.

## Practical Use Cases

1. **Brief Compilation**: Generate a detailed multi-perspective executive brief on technical or business topics (e.g., "Summarize recent developments in solid-state battery technology").
2. **Deep Market Research**: Use the `pro` model to research market trends, regulatory shifts, or macroeconomic conditions across multiple sources.
3. **Complex Q&A**: Answer questions that cannot be solved by a simple keyword search, resolving ambiguity by researching multiple angles.
