Controlled Generation

Definitions

1. Generation that is constrained by specific requirements such as format, tone, style, factual grounding, or policy rules rather than being left fully open-ended. Controlled generation is important when AI output needs to fit business or safety requirements reliably.

   In plain English: AI generation that is guided tightly by rules or constraints.

   Example: "Invoice summaries used controlled generation so the model could not invent fields outside the approved JSON schema."
