How to call GPT-4o (2024-08-06)
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.datallmlab.com/v1", api_key="YOUR_DATALLM_LAB_KEY")
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="openai/gpt-4o-2024-08-06",

Prompting tips for GPT-4o (2024-08-06)
- Be explicit and show the shape of the answer. Spell out format, tone and constraints up front, and include one short example of the output you want — GPT-4o (2024-08-06) follows concrete instructions better than abstract ones.
- It reads images. Send image parts alongside your text and ask for specific outputs (named JSON fields, a table, "what changed") rather than "describe this".
- Give it real tools. Pass a
tools=[...]schema instead of asking it to "pretend" — let GPT-4o (2024-08-06) emit tool calls, execute them, and feed results back for the next turn. - Constrain JSON with a schema. Use
response_format/ structured outputs rather than "reply in JSON" to get valid, parseable objects every time. - It's premium — spend where it counts. Route easy calls to a cheaper model and reserve GPT-4o (2024-08-06) for the hard reasoning; trim system prompts and few-shot examples that don't move the result.
Tips are derived from GPT-4o (2024-08-06)'s actual capabilities — context window, tool & JSON support, modality and price tier — not generic advice.
