   LLMs can generate valid JSON 100% of the time▲854

   Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…

   GPT-JSON – Structured and typehinted GPT responses in Python▲174

   Hey HN, I've been using GPT a lot lately in some side projects around data generation and benchmarking. During the course of prompt tuning I ended up with a pretty complicated request: the value that I was looking for, an explanation, a criticism, etc. JSON was the most natural output format for this but results would often be broken, have wrong types, or contain missing fields. There's been some positive movement in this space, like with jsonformer (https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer) the other day. But nothing that was plug and play with GPT. This library consolidates…

    Anything To JSON – a language model for structured extraction▲18

    Hey HN! Erik here from banana.dev We’ve trained a small(ish) language model on structured extraction, and today we’re launching a playground for it at https://anythingtojson.com. Give it a try! This model continues our work on structured generation, following last week’s launch of Fructose[1], a python client for strongly-typed LLM responses. There seem to be two distinct halves of the problem intended to be solved by Fructose and structured generation: 1. the reasoning ability of the model, such as performing chain of thought, creative acts, and natural language tasks. In a way,…

    JSONBason▲15

    I've been at it again, just sharing my simple JSON data inspection tool, love webdev and single page apps, this one took 4 days and was a lot of fun. The code is not obfuscated so you can inspect it and see how it works (very simple, server side is even more simple) Pretty much just do a POST of your JSON data from within your code and it will convert it into a basic table for instant search and sort. Made with love for the fun of it, no ads, no paid anything, it's totally free. Please only send in sanitized/test data only, this is meant to help make webdev a bit easier and more fun.…
