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 emulation mode - MdJson, which tries to force the model to generate a JSON output by asking it to respond with a JSON object within a Markdown code block. This is useful for the models which do not support JSON output directly. We will also provide an example of the expected JSON output in the prompt to guide the model in generating the correct response. 
<?php
require 'examples/boot.php';

use Cognesy\Polyglot\Inference\Enums\OutputMode;
use Cognesy\Polyglot\Inference\Inference;

$data = (new Inference)
    ->using('openai')
    ->with(
        messages: [['role' => 'user', 'content' => 'What is capital of France? \
           Respond with JSON data containing name", population and year of founding. \
           Example: {"name": "Berlin", "population": 3700000, "founded": 1237}']],
        options: ['max_tokens' => 64],
        mode: OutputMode::MdJson,
    )
    ->asJsonData();

echo "USER: What is capital of France\n";
echo "ASSISTANT:\n";
dump($data);

assert(is_array($data), 'Response should be an array');
assert(isset($data['name']), 'Response should have "name" field');
assert(strpos($data['name'], 'Paris') !== false, 'City name should be Paris');
assert(isset($data['population']), 'Response should have "population" field');
assert(isset($data['founded']), 'Response should have "founded" field');
