Reviewer scorecard
“The simplest way to get typed, validated outputs from LLMs. Pydantic integration is natural for Python developers.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Does one thing perfectly. No over-abstraction, just structured outputs. The anti-LangChain.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Structured outputs are the bridge between LLMs and traditional software. Instructor makes that bridge trivial to build.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
