In this video, I’m thrilled to announce that Olama now supports structured outputs, allowing you to constrain a model’s output to a specific predefined JSON schema. This functionality is available in both the Olama Python and JavaScript libraries. I’ll walk you through examples such as parsing data from documents, extracting data from images, and structuring language model responses with reliability and consistency. I’ll also show you how to get started with Olama, how to install it, and how you can leverage libraries like Pydantic and Zod to define your schemas. Additionally, I’ll touch on some advanced features like vision support and how Olama is compatible with the OpenAI SDK.
