Guidance
An open-source Microsoft library for constrained generation with large language models. It controls the decoding process to enforce structural constraints on model outputs, enabling deep integration of program logic with the generation process.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Open-source frameworks such as Outlines, Guidance, and LMQL have already implemented constrained output/restricted decoding mechanisms.
Token Healing is a concept introduced by Microsoft's Guidance framework.
Outlines, Guidance, and LMQL are representative implementation libraries for hard constraints in the decoding phase.
Constrained decoding tools such as Outlines and Guidance allow models to be forced at inference time to produce text conforming to a specific grammar or schema, but potentially at the cost of some generation quality.
约束解码技术生态包括OpenAI的JSON Mode、Outlines库、LMQL、Microsoft的Guidance库、SGLang和Instructor等工具
