The chat endpoint accepts an additional `grammar` parameter which takes a [BNF defined grammar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_form).
|
|
|
|
This allows the LLM to constrain the output to a user-defined schema, allowing to generate `JSON`, `YAML`, and everything that can be defined with a BNF grammar.

This feature works only with models compatible with the [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) backend (see also [Model compatibility]({{%relref "model-compatibility" %}})). For details on how it works, see the upstream PRs: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1773, https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1887

For example, to constrain the output to either `yes`, `no`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
|
|
"model": "gpt-4",
|
|
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Do you like apples?"}],
|
|
"grammar": "root ::= (\"yes\" | \"no\")"
|
|
}'
|
|
```
