1. Coding challenge
Prompt: “Write a Python script that simulates a basic banking system with functionalities to deposit, withdraw and check balance.”
This prompt is excellent for testing o3-mini because it combines multiple aspects of programming—from OOP and control structures to input validation and error handling—into one cohesive example. It challenges the model to produce a complete, functional, and well-structured piece of software, which is a solid measure of its code generation capabilities.
The prompt is not only a test of code generation but also serves as a learning tool. It provides a concrete example that can help users understand how to design and implement basic banking functionality in Python. This dual purpose of being both a test case and an educational example makes it useful and simple enough for even casual users to understand and implement.
2. Mathematical proof
Prompt: “Prove the Pythagorean theorem using a geometric approach.”
This prompt requires a blend of logical sequencing, mathematical rigor, clear communication, and integration of different types of reasoning. It demonstrates the o3-mini model’s ability to handle complex, multi-faceted tasks as it successfully generated a clear and correct geometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem.
3. Scientific explanation
Prompt: “Explain the process of photosynthesis in detail.”
The o3-mini model’s ability to cover a broad range of scientific concepts and recall, organize, and articulate that multi-step process is made evident in this prompt.
The logically organized, detailed response was clearly presented and flowed coherently. This prompt showcases the model’s ability to relay deep scientific knowledge and the ability to integrate interdisciplinary concepts into a cohesive explanation.
4. Historical analysis
Prompt: “Analyze the causes and effects of the French Revolution.”
This prompt requires the integration of interdisciplinary historical knowledge, structured and coherent writing, and critical analysis of complex cause-and-effect relationships, making it an ideal prompt to test the o3-mini model’s ability to successfully generate accurate, detailed, and educationally valuable content on a multifaceted historical topic.
This prompt showcases how the o3-mini model can be used for educational or teaching purposes.
5. Literary critique
Prompt: “Provide a critical analysis of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ focusing on its themes of madness and revenge.”
The prompt requires a deep and critical analysis of Hamlet, focusing on multifaceted themes like madness and revenge. This tests the model’s ability to engage in high-level literary criticism, synthesizing various elements of the text to produce an insightful analysis.
This model successfully addressed the complex academic task and expertly produced a nuanced, well-supported argument about intricate themes in literature.
6. Philosophical discussion
Prompt: “Discuss the concept of utilitarianism and its implications in modern ethics.”
By asking for both a discussion of utilitarianism as a concept and its implications in modern ethics, the prompt challenges the model to bridge historical philosophical theories with contemporary ethical issues. This demonstrates the model’s capacity to synthesize information across different time periods and contexts.
This, and prompts like it, test the abstract reasoning ability of the o3-mini. This prompt also highlights the model’s ability to do critical analysis, understand historical content, and the practical application – all of which are essential for generating an informative and nuanced response on complex ethical topics.
7. Urban planning
Prompt: “Design an integrated strategy to optimize urban transportation in a rapidly growing megacity. Your plan should address the following aspects.”
This prompt effectively showcases the model’s problem-solving and complex reasoning abilities. The query requries an integrated, multifaceted solution that mirrors the challenges encountered in real-world scenarios, in this case, planning within an urban environment.
The prompt also dives deep into the o3-mini’s ability to understand many “moving parts” including environmental science, technology, and socio-economics. Although I did not show the script of the model “thinking,” it did take the time to thoughtfully process a response before offering a detailed, step-by-step plan and the rationale behind the solution.
What Are ChatGPT Prompts?
ChatGPT prompts are instructions or queries you enter into the AI chatbot’s interface to receive responses.
A prompt consists of keywords and phrases meant to spark a reply. You feed ChatGPT a question or instruction and it will respond as though in a conversation.
One example of a very simple ChatGPT prompt could be: “Tell me a joke.”
You can continue the conversation by providing another prompt that builds on the response.
