The play

Grasp Core GPT-5 Capabilities
Understand that GPT-5 will significantly advance AI with sophisticated reasoning, comprehensive multimodal understanding (processing text, image, audio, video), and enhanced tool use for external system interaction.
Strategize for Multimodal Data
Begin outlining how to collect, integrate, and process diverse data types (e.g., text descriptions alongside images, audio transcripts, video metadata) into your existing or planned AI workflows.
Refine Prompt Engineering for Reasoning
Practice designing prompts that demand complex problem-solving, logical inference, and multi-step decision-making from current LLMs. This prepares you for GPT-5's advanced reasoning capabilities.
Plan for Advanced Tool Integration
Map out potential external APIs and systems (e.g., databases, web services, custom tools) that your future AI agents could interact with. Define their interfaces and expected functionalities to enable seamless tool use.
Adapt AI Development Workflows
Revise your development processes to accommodate iterative agent design, multimodal data pipelines, and robust API orchestration. Focus on creating flexible architectures that can easily integrate new AI paradigms.

Starter code

    """
    Get the current weather in a given location.
    
    Args:
        location (str): The city and state, e.g. "San Francisco, CA"
    """
    # In a real application, this would call an external weather API
    if location == "London":
