A developer outlines a strategy for improving the reliability of large language model (LLM) extraction pipelines by implementing schema contract tests. Instead of solely focusing on model accuracy, the approach emphasizes validating the output against a predefined schema to catch formatting errors, incorrect data types, or missing fields. This method treats LLM outputs like any external API response, ensuring data integrity before it enters downstream systems like databases. The author details a Python-based harness designed to test these contracts, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between parsing, validation, and coercion failures. AI
