What problem does it solve?
Generating structured data like JSON, XML, or code from large language models often produces invalid, malformed, or schema-non-compliant outputs that cause failed integrations, require endless retry loops, and demand hours of manual post-processing to correct.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guaranteed schema compliance: Constrain token generation at the logit level using finite state machines to ensure all outputs match JSON schemas, Pydantic models, regex patterns, or code syntax, eliminating invalid results entirely.
- Local model support: Natively integrates with Transformers, llama.cpp, and vLLM backends for high-speed, private inference on your own hardware with no reliance on external API providers.
- Real-world use case: Extract structured customer data from unstructured support tickets, generate type-safe API request payloads, or produce syntactically correct code snippets that align with your project's requirements in seconds.
Quick Start
Use the outlines skill to extract a customer's full name, email address, and support ticket category from the unstructured support message provided and return the data as a valid Pydantic SupportTicket model instance.
