Welcome, AI Strategists

💫 Current thoughts: Lots going on with the release of OpenAI’s o1 model. I thought now would be a good time to break down the key models and how they can apply to you and your workflows.

The new o1 model turns the prompting instructions on its head but, with all the other models, providing context, detail is what improves your output.
