Grammar-Constrained Decoding in Python with llama.cpp: Enforce JSON at Generation Time

About this lesson

Broken JSON: prevent it with llama.cpp grammars in Python to stop invalid structures while the model is still decoding. Learn how grammar-constrained decoding produces parse-ready JSON (fewer retries, deterministic fields) using llama.cpp and standard Python tooling. See raw vs grammar-guarded outputs, converting guarded responses to numeric health scores, streaming low-latency decoding, and a reusable generate_status helper.
