LLMs are unable to write Typst

Bug Reports

Typst is a new typesetting language. I assume that your system prompt says something about LaTeX/MathJAX because the models give me LaTeX math equations inside my Typst document which is syntactically wrong, and it won’t compile.

I saw GPT-5 mini in its thinking and was conflicted about that. It said that the system prompt wanted LaTeX syntax for math while I told it that LaTeX syntax is absolutely forbidden. Is this in the T3 Chat system prompt, or is this coming from OpenAI?

Can you do something about this?

    This is part of our system prompt, it has been adjusted to be a bit less aggressive now.
