Instructor
An open-source library for getting validated, structured outputs from LLMs, with versions for Python, TypeScript, Go and Ruby.
About Instructor
Parsing free-form model output into reliable data structures is error-prone.
Who it’s for
- Developers extracting structured data with LLMs
- Teams that already use Pydantic or Zod
When to consider it
Consider Instructor when you want typed, validated responses from many model providers with automatic retries.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- MIT licensed; it is a library you call from your own code, not a hosted service.
