Pydantic is STILL all you need: Jason Liu

The podcast emphasizes the continued relevance and utility of Pydantic for structured outputs, particularly in the context of language models. It highlights Pydantic's ability to ensure compatibility, composability, and reliability when interacting with external systems. The speaker covers the use of validators for error handling and data correction, demonstrating examples such as uppercasing names and ensuring the accuracy of receipt data. The discussion extends to generation, showcasing how structured outputs can enhance RAG applications by validating URLs and enabling sophisticated search queries. The speaker also touches on data extraction, including the use of custom type hints for extracting tables from images, reinforcing the idea that Pydantic simplifies programming with data structures in generative AI.
