Are you developing an application and looking to integrate large language model (LLM) features? With multiple options like GPT, Gemini, Claude, and open-source models from Hugging Face, we'll help you evaluate.
In this article, we are going to talk about three tools that can, at least in theory, force any local LLM to produce structured output: LM Format Enforcer, Outlines, and Guidance. After a short description of each tool, we will evaluate their performance on a few test cases ranging from book recommendations to extracting information from HTML. And the best for the end, we will show you how forcing LLMs to produce a structured output can be used to solve a very common problem in many businesses: extracting structured records from free-form text.
