I've noticed that while Gemini2.5 Pro tends to generate long and detailed answers, O3 often gives much shorter responses. I'm curious if OpenAI is limiting the output length for some reason. What strategies can I use to encourage O3 to provide longer content in its responses?

You might want to try using the API, where you can set parameters for reasoning effort and output length. That's a solid way to get more content from O3.
Have you considered specifying the desired output length in your initial prompt? It could help guide O3 to provide a more comprehensive answer.
Try expanding on your original prompt. Ask for more specifics or details related to your question; it might help to flesh out the responses you get from O3.
I feel you! I’ve had the same issue. Gemini seems to give detailed reports from just a simple question, while O3 leaves you hanging with its short replies. It's like, "Is that all there is?"
Thanks for that tip! Are there other methods to modify the response length?
