Decision brief
rellm is a Python tool that guarantees structured outputs from language model completions by leveraging the Hugging Face Transformers library.
Good fit when
- - When you require precise and exact structure in output data generated from any language model, utilizing rellm can ensure consistency.
- - If your application needs to process text through Hugging Face's models and demands that outputs strictly adhere to specific formats, rellm is ideal.
Avoid when
- - Avoid using rellm if you are not working with the Hugging Face Transformers library or do not need structured output formats.
- - If your project can tolerate some level of unstructured or less rigidly formatted outputs from language models, other solutions might be more appropriate.

Installation
pip install rellm
The preliminary results are interesting -- even for small models, constraining the token space with ReLLM can improve the quality of the completions. Not to mention the ability to more easily parse the output programmatically. Take a look at some of the examples. For an example of parsing a context-free grammar (like JSON) with ReLLM, see r2d4/parserllm.
import regex
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from rellm import complete_re
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
prompt = "ReLLM, the best way to get structured data out of LLMs, is an acronym for "
pattern = regex.compile(r'Re[a-z]+ L[a-z]+ L[a-z]+ M[a-z]+')
output = complete_re(tokenizer=tokenizer,
model=model,
prompt=prompt,
pattern=pattern,
do_sample=True,
max_new_tokens=80)
print(output)
