I haven't used any LLM deep research tools in the past; today, after reading this HN post, I gave Tongyi DeepResearch a try to see how it performs on a simple "research" task (in an area I've working experience in: healthcare and EHR) and I'm satisfied with its response (for the given tasks; I, obviously, can't say anything how it'll performs on other "research" tasks I'll ask it in the future). I think I'll keep using this model for tasks for which I was using other local LLM models before.

Besides I might give other large deep research models a try when needed.
