LLM API Support
Local / Ollama
Overview
You can use Instructor with local Ollama instance.
Please note that, at least currently, OS models do not perform on par with OpenAI (GPT-3.5 or GPT-4) model for complex data schemas.
Supported modes:
- Mode::MdJson - fallback mode, works with any capable model
- Mode::Json - recommended
- Mode::Tools - supported (for selected models - check Ollama docs)
Example
<?php
$loader = require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$loader->add('Cognesy\\Instructor\\', __DIR__ . '../../src/');
use Cognesy\Instructor\Enums\Mode;
use Cognesy\Instructor\Instructor;
enum UserType : string {
case Guest = 'guest';
case User = 'user';
case Admin = 'admin';
}
class User {
public int $age;
public string $name;
public string $username;
public UserType $role;
/** @var string[] */
public array $hobbies;
}
// Get Instructor with specified LLM client connection
// See: /config/llm.php to check or change LLM client connection configuration details
$instructor = (new Instructor)->withConnection('ollama');
$user = $instructor->respond(
messages: "Jason (@jxnlco) is 25 years old and is the admin of this project. He likes playing football and reading books.",
