We moved from structured decoding to tool calls and agents a long time ago. It was more useful when models were too weak to hold syntax reliably.

Techniques in DSPy are still extremely valuable. Your comment is akin to saying, we don't need feedback because open loop control is so good now. It is until it isn't. I don't need a deep understanding of the underlying theory because my gut reaction is always right, until it isn't.

Yeah. Myself, a PhD in math, have less attention to detail than models.

Now their main weakness is creativity, planning and decision making

Are there TS or rust ports? Please? :)

https://github.com/ax-llm/ax is oft cited as the TS equiv.

Tool calls don't constrain enums. Mine returned hackernews where the schema said hn, and only the validation step caught it.
