OpenAI Introduces New Meta-Prompt System for Enhanced AI Interaction

According to Odaily, OpenAI has unveiled its new o1 model family’s meta-prompt. By detailing how its prompt system operates, OpenAI aims to assist developers in refining and adjusting their products to better interact with the evolving ecosystem of applications and websites. The meta-prompt (prompt optimizer) and system prompt (model regulator) work behind the scenes, issuing detailed instructions on how the AI should behave throughout the interaction process. When a user initiates a conversation, the meta-prompt sets the stage, guiding the AI from understanding the primary goal of the task to constructing its output. This includes retaining the user's original content, providing concise improvements when necessary, and ensuring the AI follows clear reasoning steps before presenting conclusions.
