How to prompt on OpenAI’s new o1 models - Emilia David, Venture Beat

OpenAI’s latest model family, o1, promises to be more powerful and better at reasoning than previous models. Using GPT-o1 will be slightly different than prompting GPT-4 or even GPT-4o. Since this model has more reasoning capabilities, some regular prompt engineering methods won’t work as well. Earlier models needed more guidance, and people took advantage of longer context windows to provide the models with more instructions. According to OpenAI’s API documentation, the o1 models “perform best with straightforward prompts.” However, techniques like instructing the model and shot prompting “may not enhance performance and can sometimes hinder it.”
