Guidance
Interleaves ordinary Python program logic and grammar-constrained generation in the same workflow.
Overview
Research summary
Guidance is a Python library for steering language-model generation through programmatic control. Developers can combine generation with loops, branches, tool use, and reusable functions while constraining output with regular expressions or context-free grammars on compatible backends. The project supports multiple model integrations and provides notebook visualization for interactive development. It also offers local grammar checks and a mock model for testing constraints without remote model calls. Constraint support depends on the chosen backend, so its strongest syntax guarantees should not be assumed for every hosted API.
