35
+ ### Updates
36
+
37
+ - **[2026/09/19]** Added optional [thinking mode](#thinking-mode) with
38
+ `thinking=True/False` and a configurable per-field thinking budget, followed
39
+ by type-safe constrained decoding. Thinking is off by default.
40
+ - [2026/09/18] Added integer and float outputs through tokenizer-native
41
+ constrained decoding for JSON Schema `integer` and `number` fields.
42
+
43
+ ## Introduction
44
+
45
+ TypeLLM extends autoregressive LLMs with type-safe generation. Models can still think and generate freely when needed, while producing guaranteed typed outputs when structure matters. Define the output with a JSON Schema, and TypeLLM returns values your software can use directly.
46
+
47
+ ### Supported output types
48
+
49
+ - **Text** — Free text (`string`).
50
+ - **Integer** — Whole numbers (`integer`).
51
+ - **Number** — Numeric values (`number`).
52
+ - **Boolean** — `true` or `false`.
53
+ - **Enum choice** — One of your allowed string or numeric values.
54
+
55
+ Enum and boolean fields select from finite candidates; numeric and text fields
56
+ without `enum` generate values token by token. See [schemas and examples](#output-types).
57
+
58
+ ### Features
59
+
60
+ 1. **No out-of-schema hallucinations** — Choices stay within the allowed values.
61
+ 2. **Negligible output-token cost** — Single-token categorical selection and bounded numeric decoding; optional thinking adds tokens.
62
+ 3. **Linear input computation cost** — Prefix caching avoids reprocessing shared context.
63
+ 4. **Batch or sequential execution** — Run independent decisions together or condition on earlier results.
64
+ 5. **Made for open autoregressive LLMs** — Use compatible models you already serve with SGLang.
65
+ 6. **Supports thinking mode** — Enable reasoning before the final constrained answer.
66
+
67
+ ## Quick start
68
+
69
+ ### 1. Serve a model with SGLang
70
+
71
+ Use [SGLang](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang) to configure and serve a
72
+ compatible autoregressive model on your local GPU server. This example uses
73
+ Qwen3.8-27B; follow the
74
+ [Qwen3.8-27B SGLang deployment guide](https://lmsysorg.mintlify.app/cookbook/autoregressive/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B)
75
+ to start it with prefix caching enabled.
76
+
77
+ **Qwen3.5-4B and Qwen3.5-9B are also supported and GPU-tested, including thinking mode.**
78
+
79
+ Serve the chosen checkpoint with SGLang and use the same model ID in the client:
80
+
81
+ ```python
82
+ from typellm import TypeLLMClient
83
+
84
+ client = TypeLLMClient(
85
+ "http://127.0.0.1:30000",
86
+ model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B", # or "Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B", "Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B"
87
+ )
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ Install the lightweight client-side tokenizer dependencies:
91
+
92
+ ```bash
93
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ ### 2. Run TypeLLM
97
+
98
+ Point `TypeLLMClient` at the SGLang server's HTTP endpoint:
99
+
100
+ ```python
101
+ from typellm import TypeLLMClient
102
+
103
+ client = TypeLLMClient(
104
+ "http://127.0.0.1:30000",
105
+ model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B",
106
+ )
107
+
108
+ result = client.generate(
109
+ context="""
110
+ Receipt from Hilton London
111
+ Total: £324
112
+ Employee travelled to London for a client meeting.
113
+ """,
114
+ questions={
115
+ "expense_type": {
116
+ "type": "string",
117
+ "enum": ["meal", "travel", "equipment"],
118
+ "instructions": "What type of expense is this?",
119
+ },
120
+ "reimbursable": {
121
+ "type": "boolean",
122
+ "instructions": "Should this expense be reimbursed?",
123
+ },
124
+ "confidence": {
125
+ "type": "number",
126
+ "enum": [0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0],
127
+ "instructions": "How confident are you?",
128
+ },
129
+ },
130
+ )
131
+
132
+ print(result)
133
+ # {
134
+ # "expense_type": "travel",
135
+ # "reimbursable": True,
136
+ # "confidence": 0.75,
137
+ # }
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ `questions` maps output field names to their definitions. Every field is answered.
141
+ The existing `schema=` JSON Schema interface is also supported; pass only one.
142
+ `state=` is an alias for `context=`; pass only one of them.
143
+
144
+ Python dictionary insertion order determines the decision order. Each later
145
+ field is conditioned on the original context and the values selected for all
146
+ earlier fields.
147
+
148
+ ## Thinking mode
149
+
150
+ Thinking is off by default. Enable it when constructing the client:
151
+
152
+ ```python
153
+ client = TypeLLMClient(
154
+ "http://127.0.0.1:30000",
155
+ model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B",
156
+ thinking=True, # False disables thinking (the default)
157
+ )
158
+ result = client.generate(context=context, questions=questions)
159
+ ```
160
+
161
+ No thinking-token budget is set by default. Optionally pass `thinking_budget=2048`
162
+ to cap reasoning per field. TypeLLM reserves context space for the final answer;
163
+ if thinking reaches its length limit, it keeps the partial reasoning, closes the
164
+ thinking block, and proceeds with constrained decoding. Server and network errors
165
+ still propagate.
166
+
167
+ ## Testing
168
+
169
+ To run the 128-case numeric regression, first serve `Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B` with SGLang
170
+ at `http://127.0.0.1:30000`, then run:
171
+
172
+ ```bash
173
+ python3 _numeric_eval.py
174
+ ```
175
+
176
+ The evaluation covers integer and number extraction, arithmetic, negative
177
+ integers, and sequential dependencies. Its deterministic test cases are stored
178
+ in `evals/numeric_eval_cases.jsonl`; the script writes detailed results to
179
+ `evals/numeric_eval_formal_results.jsonl` and prints an aggregate summary.
180
+
181
+ ## Output types
182
+
183
+ TypeLLM supports finite decisions, numeric fields, and free text:
184
+
185
+ | Field | Schema | Returned value |
186
+ |---|---|---|
187
+ | Text | `{"type": "string"}` | `str` |
188
+ | Integer | `{"type": "integer"}` | `int` |
189
+ | Number | `{"type": "number"}` | `float` |
190
+ | Boolean | `{"type": "boolean"}` | `bool` |
191
+ | Enum choice | `{"type": "string", "enum": ["meal", "travel"]}` | Candidate type: `str`, `int`, or `float` |
192
+
193
+ Enum choices support `string`, `integer`, and `number` types, with at most 16 values. The declared `type` validates the candidate values.
194
+
195
+ Generation works in three ways:
196
+
197
+ - **Choice** — Selects from finite candidates for enum and boolean fields.
198
+ - **Numeric** — Generates integers or numbers without `enum` token by token under numeric constraints.
199
+ - **Text** — Generates a JSON string for strings without `enum`, then decodes it to `str`.
200
+
201
+ A string without `enum` generates free text:
202
+
203
+ ```python
204
+ result = client.generate(
205
+ context="The train ticket is for a client meeting.",
206
+ questions={
207
+ "summary": {"type": "string", "instructions": "Summarize in one sentence."},
208
+ },
209
+ )
210
+ ```
211
+
212
+ `maxLength` is optional: add `"maxLength": 100` to limit Unicode character count.
213
+ Omitting it adds no character limit. Set `TypeLLMClient(text_max_tokens=512)` to
214
+ control the separate per-field generation budget (default 512 tokens).
215
+ Incomplete, invalid, or over-length text raises `SGLangError`.
216
+ Sequential fields can use earlier text; batch text fields generate independently.
217
+ Text generation uses
218
+ multiple tokens; type safety does not guarantee factual accuracy. Text fields
219
+ currently support `maxLength`, but not `minLength`, `pattern`, or `format`.
220
+
221
+
222
+ For example, ask for a numeric answer without enumerating every possible value:
223
+
224
+ ```python
225
+ result = client.generate(
226
+ context="Calculate the requested value accurately.",
227
+ questions={
228
+ "answer": {
229
+ "type": "number",
230
+ "instructions": "What is 17.5 multiplied by 4?",
231
+ },
232
+ },
233
+ )
234
+
235
+ print(result)
236
+ # {"answer": 70.0}
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ Use `instructions` to tell the model what decision to make:
240
+
241
+ ```python
242
+ {
243
+ "type": "string",
244
+ "enum": ["billing", "technical", "account"],
245
+ "instructions": "Which team should handle this ticket?",
246
+ }
247
+ ```
248
+
249
+ If `instructions` is omitted, TypeLLM uses `description` or an instruction
250
+ generated from the field name. Rename old `question` / `x-question` fields
251
+ to `instructions`.
252
+
253
+ ## Sequential and batch execution
254
+
255
+ Sequential execution is the default:
256
+
257
+ Questions can express a complete decision workflow. For example, incident
258
+ triage might select, in order:
259
+
260
+ 1. the affected system;
261
+ 2. the severity, conditioned on that system;
262
+ 3. whether to roll back, conditioned on both earlier decisions;
263
+ 4. a confidence score.
264
+
265
+ Each field becomes a new user turn, and the assistant directly emits its
266
+ single-token label or constrained numeric value. The completed turn is appended
267
+ before the next question, so later decisions see the complete decision history.
268
+ The final accumulated prompt is available as `client.last_prompt`, or can be
269
+ printed with `print_final_prompt=True`.
270
+
271
+ When the fields are independent, run them as one native SGLang batch:
272
+
273
+ ```python
274
+ result = client.generate(
275
+ context=context,
276
+ questions=questions,
277
+ execution="batch",
278
+ )
279
+ ```
280
+
281
+ Batch execution prefills the shared context once, then forks it into one branch
282
+ per field. Each branch appends only its own question and generates one token.
283
+ The completed branch prompts are available as `client.last_prompts`.
284
+
285
+ Use `sequential` when later decisions depend on earlier values. Use `batch`
286
+ only when every field may be decided independently from the shared context.
287
+ For actual concurrent execution, configure the SGLang server with
288
+ `--max-running-requests` at least as large as the desired number of branches.
289
+
290
+ ### Batch performance
291
+
292
+ Batch execution supports any number of independent fields, subject to the
293
+ SGLang server's concurrency and memory limits. The shared context is prefilled
294
+ once, and every field becomes a branch containing only its own question and
295
+ one-token answer.
296
+
297
+ As one illustrative measurement, a local run used Qwen3.8-27B NVFP4 on one
298
+ NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU, a roughly 1,100-token shared context, and
299
+ `K=16` one-token Boolean decisions. SGLang was configured with
300
+ `--max-running-requests 16`.
301
+
302
+ | Execution | End-to-end latency | Latency per decision | Relative throughput |
303
+ |---|---:|---:|---:|
304
+ | Sequential | 9.35 s | 0.584 s | 1.0x |
305
+ | Batch | 1.61 s | 0.101 s | 5.8x |
306
+
307
+ In this run, every branch reused 1,088 cached tokens, for 17,408 reused token
308
+ positions in total. This is a single example of the general batch method, not
309
+ a fixed-width design or a portable hardware benchmark. Latency depends on
310
+ `K`, the model, questions, context length, GPU, and server configuration.
311
+
312
+ The two modes intentionally compute different conditionals. Sequential mode
313
+ includes all earlier selected values in every later prompt. Batch mode gives
314
+ each branch only the common context and its own question, which enables
315
+ parallelism but removes cross-decision dependencies.
316
+
317
+ ## Probabilities and sampling
318
+
319
+ Set `return_probabilities` on individual enum or boolean fields:
320
+
321
+ ```python
322
+ result = client.generate(
323
+ context=context,
324
+ questions={
325
+ "expense_type": {
326
+ "type": "string",
327
+ "enum": ["meal", "travel", "equipment"],
328
+ "return_probabilities": True,
329
+ },
330
+ },
331
+ )
332
+ ```
333
+
334
+ ```python
335
+ {
336
+ "expense_type": {
337
+ "value": "travel",
338
+ "probabilities": {
339
+ "meal": 0.04,
340
+ "travel": 0.93,
341
+ "equipment": 0.03,
342
+ },
343
+ }
344
+ }
345
+ ```
346
+
347
+ Only opted-in fields return `value` and `probabilities`; other fields return plain values.
348
+ The option is not supported on open Numeric or Text fields.
349
+
350
+ Argmax is the default. To enable sampling:
351
+
352
+ ```python
353
+ client = TypeLLMClient(
354
+ "http://127.0.0.1:30000",
355
+ mode="sample",
356
+ temperature=0.8,
357
+ seed=42,
358
+ )
359
+ ```
360
+
361
+ Sampling applies to finite candidates for Choice fields and to token generation
362
+ for Numeric and Text fields. `temperature` controls sampling in each case.
363
+
364
+ For a one-off request, use the convenience function:
365
+
366
+ ```python
367
+ from typellm import run_schema
368
+
369
+ result = run_schema(
370
+ context=context,
371
+ questions=questions,
372
+ base_url="http://127.0.0.1:30000",
373
+ model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B",
374
+ )
375
+ ```
376
+
377
+ ## Cost analysis
378
+
379
+ **Closed decisions generate one token per field, and prefix reuse makes the
380
+ newly processed input grow approximately linearly with the unique context
381
+ added across the workflow.** An open number requires one constrained step per
382
+ generated tokenizer token. The long original context is normally prefilled once
383
+ rather than recomputed for every decision.
384
+
385
+ For `D` decisions, an original context of `C` tokens, and roughly `S` newly
386
+ appended tokens per decision:
387
+
388
+ ```text
389
+ without prefix reuse: O(D*C + D^2*S)
390
+ with prefix reuse: O(C + D*S)
391
+ output generation: O(D + N)
392
+ ```
393
+
394
+ Here `N` is the total number of generated tokenizer tokens in open numeric
395
+ fields, including their end-of-message tokens, and is zero for a fully finite
396
+ schema.
397
+
398
+ For `K` independent closed batch decisions with question lengths
399
+ `Q_1, ..., Q_K`, the corresponding prefill count is approximately
400
+ `C + sum(Q_k)`, followed by one batched decode step that produces `K` output
401
+ tokens. Open numeric fields require additional constrained token steps.
402
+
403
+ These are prefill token-position counts, not exact GPU FLOPs. New tokens still
404
+ attend to the cached prefix, and real latency also depends on cache alignment,
405
+ context length, batching, memory bandwidth, and cache eviction.
406
+
407
+ This describes self-hosted compute. A hosted provider may still bill the full
408
+ submitted input unless it offers cached-input pricing.
