A new method for generating valid JSON from language models involves constraining the decoding process rather than relying on post-generation validation. This technique modifies the model's output probabilities by setting illegal token logits to negative infinity, effectively making them un-sampleable. By integrating a finite-state machine that represents the JSON grammar, the system ensures that only valid tokens are ever produced, guaranteeing that the output is parsable on the first attempt and eliminating the need for retries.
