Overview

While working with Inference class, you can also generate JSON output from the model inference. This is useful for example when you need to process the response in a structured way or when you want to store the elements of the response in a database.

​
Example

In this example we will use OpenAI JSON Schema mode, which guarantees that the response will be in a JSON format that matches the provided schema.

NOTE: Json Schema mode with guaranteed structured outputs is not supported by all language model providers.

require 'examples/boot.php';

use Cognesy\Polyglot\Inference\Enums\OutputMode;

$data = (new Inference)

        messages: [['role' => 'user', 'content' => 'What is capital of France? \
        Respond with JSON data.']],
