OpenAI just released their official GPT-4.1 Prompting Guide. Thanks to Andreas Horn for sharing this on LinkedIn. It outlines how to write more effective prompts and provides examples for a range of advanced use cases. Worth reading through if you're building AI workflows or trying to improve how GPT-4.1 handles instructions.
The main sections are:
- Agentic Workflows โ how to guide multi-step reasoning and tool use
- Long Context โ strategies for using GPT-4.1โs extended context window effectively
- Chain of Thought โ encouraging the model to reason step by step
- Instruction Following โ improving how the model interprets and responds to tasks
- General Prompting Advice โ formatting, placement of instructions, and token management
Let me know what you think, curious how others are applying this in real workflows.
