In case you missed it

    OpenAI does publish advice on prompting o1, 
    but we find it incomplete, and in a sense you can
    view this article as a “Missing Manual” to lived
    experience using o1 and o1 pro in practice.

The last line is important

But extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Openai tested the model for months and concluded that simple prompts are best. The author claims that complex prompts are best, but cites no evidence.

Requiring only simple prompts surely sells better. I would not assume the documentation provided by OpenAI is totally unbiased and independent of business goals.

I find it surprising that you think documentation issues are “extraordinary”.

You have read literally any documentation before, right?

I'd just love to see one of the prompt/response pairs demonstrating the technique. Here is an example from my llm-consortium tool. If you want more, you can have them in 5 minutes. https://github.com/irthomasthomas/llm-consortium/blob/main/c...

I mean, OpenAI not only tested the model, they literally trained the model. Training a model involves developing evaluations for the model. It’s a gargantuan effort. I’m fairly certain that OpenAI is the authority on how to prompt o1.
