Output Parsing

Definitions

1. The process of reading and interpreting AI output so it can be consumed by software or validation layers. Output parsing is especially important when models are expected to produce structured results rather than free-form text.

   In plain English: Reading and interpreting AI output so software can use it.

   Example: "They hardened output parsing after one provider update started returning extra commentary around the JSON block."
