Outlines: Structured Text Generation

When to Use This Skill

Use Outlines when you need to:

• Guarantee valid JSON/XML/code structure during generation
• Use Pydantic models for type-safe outputs
• Support local models (Transformers, llama.cpp, vLLM)
• Maximize inference speed with zero-overhead structured generation
• Generate against JSON schemas automatically
• Control token sampling at the grammar level
