LLM JSON extraction pipelines must use input-derived keys for idempotency

A common issue in LLM JSON extraction pipelines is the creation of duplicate records during retries, particularly when dealing with non-deterministic model outputs. To prevent this, developers should implement idempotency by deriving a unique key from immutable inputs like candidate ID, rubric version, and document hash, rather than relying on model-generated content. This approach ensures that retried jobs are treated as no-ops if they have already been processed, maintaining data integrity and user trust, especially in applications like B2B SaaS hiring products where duplicate scores can erode confidence.

    Why LLM JSON extraction pipelines create duplicate records on retry

    <p>Bottom line: retries in an LLM extraction pipeline stay safe only once the pipeline is idempotent, and the least complex way to get there is to deduplicate on a key you derive from the source document rather than on anything the model hands back. Queue semantics, webhook redel…
