Schema-Guided Generation

Definitions

1. Generation constrained by an explicit schema so outputs conform to a required structured format such as JSON objects with specific fields. Schema-guided generation is valuable when AI outputs must feed software systems reliably.

   In plain English: AI generation guided by a schema so the output follows a required structure.

   Example: "They moved to schema-guided generation so downstream automation no longer broke when the model added extra commentary around the result."
