LLM structured output relies on JSON schemas and validators, not prompts

To improve the reliability of LLM outputs, developers are implementing structured output contracts using JSON schemas and validators. This approach enforces data integrity by rejecting malformed responses and feeding validation errors back to the model for correction. Key strategies include using enums to restrict text fields, providing verbatim error messages to the LLM, and setting the temperature to zero to minimize randomness, ensuring that the validator, not the model, dictates the truth.

    <p>The first thing we standardized when model calls entered our pipelines was the boundary. Every call whose output feeds a machine returns JSON against a schema, and the schema is enforced by an ordinary validator. Not by asking nicely in the prompt. By rejecting the output and …
