To this day many good models don't support structured outputs (say Opus 4.5) so it's not a panacea you can count on in production. The bigger problem is that LangChain/Python is the least set up to take advantage of strong schemas even when you do have it. Agree about pillaging for prompts though. | ||

> so it's not a panacea you can count on in production. OpenAI and Gemini models can handle ridiculously complicated and convoluted schemas, if I needed complicated JSON output I wouldn’t use anything that didn’t guarantee it. I have pushed Gemini 2.5 Pro further than I thought possible when it comes to ridiculously over complicated (by necessity) structured output. | ||
