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 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.
