Outlines

by .txt · free · Last verified 2026-03-17

Outlines is an open-source Python library that provides fine-grained control over large language model text generation. It uses constrained decoding to force the model's output to conform to a specific structure, such as a regular expression, a Pydantic model, or a JSON schema. This guarantees that the generated text is always valid and parseable, eliminating the need for post-processing and error handling.
