Think about why langchain has dozens of adapters that are all targeting services that describe themselves as OAI compatible, Llamafile included.

I'd bet you could point some of them at Llamafile and get structured outputs.

Note that they can be made 100% reliable when done properly. They're not done properly in this article.

try:

    answer = chain.invoke(question)

    # print(answer) # raw JSON output

    display_answer(answer)

    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

    chain_no_parser = prompt | llm

    raw_output = chain_no_parser.invoke(question)

    print(f"Raw output:\n\n{raw_output}")

Wait, are you calling LLM again if parsing fails just to get what LLM has sent to you already?

The whole thing is not difficult to do if you directly call API without Lang chain, it'd also help you avoid such inefficiency.

... it's going to be september forever, isn't it?
