► Generating Structured Outputs with Smaller Language Models
The ability of smaller open-source language models (like the 20B 'ollama/gpt-oss' model) to generate structured outputs is being questioned. Users are exploring workarounds like using YAML format to improve the model's ability to reliably produce structured data, as known formats are generally easier for models to adhere to.
