Guided generation techniques for constraining LLM outputs to specific formats

LLMs like GPT-4 and Gemini Pro generate useful text but without guidance their outputs do not reliably adhere to specific formats or structures needed for real-world integration.

Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Initialize Vertex AI client
The environment is initialized and the Vertex AI client is configured before running guided generation.

Outcome

Guided generation techniques — regex, JSON schemas, CFGs, templates, entities, and structured data generation — improve the accuracy and reliability of LLM outputs and make it easier to integrate LLMs into real-world applications.
