Reviewer scorecard
“Guaranteed valid JSON from LLMs — no retry loops needed. The FSM approach is mathematically elegant and reliable.”
“Open-source feature flags that you can self-host. SDKs for every language and the evaluation is fast.”
“If you need structured outputs from open models, Outlines is the correct solution. Not a hack, but a proper constraint system.”
“80% of LaunchDarkly's features at a fraction of the cost. Self-hosting option means no vendor lock-in.”
“Constrained generation will be built into every inference engine. Outlines pioneered the approach.”
“Feature flag infrastructure is becoming commodity. Open-source solutions like Unleash will capture the long tail.”
