OpenAI announced "Structured Outputs in the API" today, which is a lot more exciting than it sounds and also came with a huge price drop (50% cheaper) for a new GPT-4o model - which makes it their new cheapest model for image inputs, since GPT-4o-mini is priced the same for image inputs as the previous, more expensive GPT-4o
My detailed notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/6/openai-structured-outputs/
@simon I did quite a bit of testing tonight I was surprised that structured outputs also worked with GPT-4o-mini. I didn’t crunch the numbers but I was already using it to parse text to json and I noticed an immediate improvement. I assumed we had to use the new model for pydantic support but it just worked.
