How to prompt on OpenAI’s new o1 models


OpenAI's new reasoning model o1 behaves differently than previous models. So users have to prompt it differently than GPT-4 or even 4o.

Previously, the company suggested being incredibly specific, including details and giving models step-by-step instructions, o1 will do better “thinking” on its own about how to solve queries. Ethan Mollick, a professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, said in his One Useful Thing blog that his experience as an early user of o1 showed it works better on tasks that require planning, where the model concludes how to solve problems on its own. Google launched Prompt Poet, built with the help of Character.ai, which integrates external data sources to make responses more relevant.
