-**Guidance** is an open-source Python library by **Microsoft** for controlling and constraining the outputs of large language models. With over **21,000 stars** on GitHub, it implements **constrained decoding** — steering token generation at the inference layer to guarantee outputs match specified formats like JSON, Python, HTML, SQL, and more.+**Guidance** is an open-source Python library by **Microsoft** for controlling and constraining the outputs of large language models.

 Rather than relying on prompt engineering, retry loops, or post-processing, Guidance enforces structural constraints directly during model inference, achieving 100%% guaranteed output structure with 30-50%% reduction in latency and costs compared to conventional prompting techniques. Rather than relying on prompt engineering, retry loops, or post-processing, Guidance enforces structural constraints directly during model inference, achieving 100%% guaranteed output structure with 30-50%% reduction in latency and costs compared to conventional prompting techniques.
