Prompting Paradigm Shift
Simpler Prompts Enhance AI Reasoning

OpenAI has released guidelines emphasizing the use of direct and concise prompts for its o-series reasoning models.

Contrary to traditional complex prompting techniques, these models, referred to as "the planners," perform better with high-level guidance, especially in fields like mathematics, engineering, law, and finance. OpenAI discourages the use of overly detailed "boomer prompts" and suggests organizing instructions with clear separators, such as XML tags.

This approach aims to optimize the models' performance by aligning prompt complexity with their advanced reasoning capabilities.
