From a full day of testing with the new gpt-4-turbo, a few things stand out: It's much less lazy and more willing to output large chunks of complete code. It seems better at reasoning. Plus, function calling with vision is going to be a huge unlock.

Reverse Engineering System Instructions for REST API
By
–
The REST API documentation doesn't cover system instructions yet, so I had to reverse engineer how to use them from the Python client library – notes on that here https://

GPT-4 Vision JSON parsing and prompt engineering techniques
By

Were you asking GPT-4 Vision for JSON and then parsing what came back – did you have to do anything special to avoid "Here is the JSON for that:" prefixes and suchlike?

Yeah the maximum number of output tokens is an important factor – but you can overcome that by promoting it for more content and including the content it's already given you

GPT-4 Vision for OCR: Practical Implementation Guide
By
–
I say "OCR" but it was actually GPT-4 Vision itself that I was using for that – my prompt was "Run OCR and return all of the text in this image, with newlines where appropriate"

Prompt Engineering Strategies for GPT and Claude Models
By
–
I've not tried fine-tuning any models at all – I've been focusing on figuring out how to best prompt the larger models like gpt-3.5-turbo or claude-3-haiku, mainly through figuring out the best examples to give them

Vision Models Function Calling Eliminates Redundant OCR Workflows
By
–
Fantastic – I've been looking forward to function calling for vision models Means I can ditch a nasty little hack I was running where I'd pipe input through Vision and tell it to run OCR, then pipe the result through Turbo to get structured data out of it
