Last week, team member @just_cameron posted a snippet of code you could use to get structured LLM output from PDFs.

This week, we polished that code up a bit to showcase some of the cool things you can do with Outlines + PDFs.

🚨 NEW BLOG POST ALERT 🚨

Structured generation is commonly used to output JSON, but we showed how to use it to output directly to a perfect CSV!

We use a particularly ugly table format from SEC 10-Ks, a document that public companies are required to submit.

Fixed it.

📊 One weird trick to parse earnings reports!

Wall Street analysts HATE this!

Use LLMs to convert messy SEC filings into clean CSV data using structured generation.

The one weird trick? Convert your HTML to markdown + use Outlines.

To celebrate the release of @huggingface's new SmolLM2 series of models we created a fun demo: the Bunny B1.

The Bunny B1 shows how a small device using a SmolLM2 model + Outlines can consistently map natural language requests to the correct app!

Check it out in this gif!

How is ChatGPT changing tech interviews?

If you're either a hiring manager (and see how ChatGPT is making interviews more tricky) or a candidate observing interviews changing: we'd love to hear from you.

(Those providing meaningful feedback will get the full research as well)

Marvelous talk by @MeryemArik9 about how structured generation is the "holy grail" of getting language models to do what you want.

Check out this blog post by @vanstriendaniel on using vision models with @LMStudioAI + Outlines to sort screenshots into different folders!

Annotating images with structured generation is a use case we expect to see more and more.

9,000 ⭐️ for Outlines

[.txt @dottxtai]

Outlines user @fearnworks recently contributed an EXCELLENT cookbook example on using Outlines + Pixtral to extract structured text from images.

The results show that the image contains an astronaut, the moon, the astronaut's shadow, etc.

Dan Q, our extremely qualified linguist, has designed the greatest system on Earth:

A JSON generator that cannot use the letter 'e'.

Here is a description of a knight with no e's.

Did we ask for this? No.
Did we need this? Also no.

Is this cool? Yes.

SCP is a secret organization that contains supernatural phenomena to protect humanity. Community members have maintained a collaborative wiki over many years.

We designed an automatic @scpwiki generator using Outlines, and stood up a website for them.

Here's how 👇
