Reviewer scorecard
“The demo is impressive but real-world usage reveals rough edges.”
“Structured outputs are the bridge between LLMs and traditional software. Instructor makes that bridge trivial to build.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
“Been using this for 3 months — it's become indispensable.”
“Does one thing perfectly. No over-abstraction, just structured outputs. The anti-LangChain.”
“The simplest way to get typed, validated outputs from LLMs. Pydantic integration is natural for Python developers.”
