Structured AI Output: How to Use Outlines and Pydantic
A new guide shows how to use Outlines and Pydantic to build LLM pipelines that return strictly validated structures instead of free-form text. The walkthrough covers constraints via Literal, int and bool, templates through outlines.Template, repair of broken JSON, and a mode close to function calling. This stack makes it safer to connect a model to the product logic inside a service.

How to use AI for structured output: the walkthrough shows how to make an LLM return strictly validated data structures rather than "roughly correct" text.
Why does AI return the wrong data format?
Because by default a model speaks in free-form text, which can contain a stray character, a missing field or a wrong type. That breaks the chain: the JSON fails to parse, or a function receives a string instead of a number.
