Getting Started with GPT-o3

On Magicdoor Platform

1. Select GPT-o3 from the model dropdown in any chat
2. Provide clear context for your reasoning task
3. Ask specific questions that benefit from step-by-step analysis
4. Review the reasoning process to understand how conclusions were reached

Best Practices

Prompt Engineering:

• Be specific about what kind of reasoning you need
• Provide all relevant context upfront
• Ask for step-by-step explanations when helpful
• Break complex problems into smaller components

Example Prompts:

"Analyze the following business scenario and recommend the optimal strategy, showing your reasoning:"

"Debug this algorithm and explain step-by-step why it's not producing the expected output:"

"Compare these three investment options, considering risk, return, and market conditions:"

Advanced Features on Magicdoor

Smart Integration

• Automatic web search: GPT-o3 seamlessly uses Perplexity when current information is needed
• Vision support: Upload documents, charts, or images for analysis
• Memory integration: Remembers your preferences and context across chats
• Canvas compatibility: Use with Canvas for collaborative problem-solving

Workflow Integration

GPT-o3 works excellently with Magicdoor's other models:

1. Research phase: Use GPT-o3 for deep analysis
2. Creative phase: Switch to Claude 4 for writing and refinement
3. Validation phase: Use Perplexity for fact-checking and current information

Limitations and Considerations

When Not to Use GPT-o3

• Simple tasks: Basic questions don't require reasoning capabilities
• Speed-critical applications: Other models respond faster for general queries
• Creative writing: Claude 4 or GPT-4o may be better for pure creativity
• Casual conversation: Overkill for everyday chat interactions

Current Limitations

• Response time: Takes longer to generate responses due to reasoning process
• Cost: More expensive than general-purpose models for simple tasks
• Overkill risk: May provide overly complex answers for straightforward questions

Getting Maximum Value

Cost Optimization

1. Use for complex tasks: Reserve GPT-o3 for problems that truly benefit from reasoning
2. Batch related questions: Combine multiple related reasoning tasks in one session
3. Clear prompts: Well-structured prompts reduce token usage and improve accuracy
4. Context management: Provide sufficient context to avoid back-and-forth clarification

Quality Optimization

1. Specific requests: Ask for exactly the type of reasoning you need
2. Iterative refinement: Build on previous reasoning in follow-up questions
3. Cross-validation: Use other models or sources to verify critical conclusions
4. Documentation: Save important reasoning chains for future reference
