Universal Prompting Trick for Coding
felix_red_panda · x · 2026-07-11
A user highlighted a universal prompt reportedly effective for both **coding and tool use** tasks: `reasoning effort: high`. The poster noted that this trick has been tested on models like **gpt-oss** and **nemotron 3**, scaling up to **120B** parameters, and appears to be broadly applicable. The original post focuses on discussing a reusable prompting strategy rather than merely evaluating a specific model.
