Want to visualize the response format constraints on the LLM when working in a Jupyter notebook?
Then you might be interested in my new project `litelines`.
Litelines lets you visualize the selected path by the LLM.
It supports a Pydantic schema as a response format, as well as regular expressions.

New blog post: Constrain a language model not to use the letter 'e'

alonsosilvaallende.github.io/blog/posts/2...

In this post, I constrain a small language model (0.6B parameters) with a logits processor to accomplish something GPT-4o fails to do (see chatgpt.com/share/687908...).

TIL how to add notebook cells running on @pyodide.org to Quarto projects, such as my blog:
alonsosilvaallende.github.io/til/posts/20...
It's very easy to change the Pyodide version if needed. Thanks @coatless.bsky.social for this great Quarto extension

New blog post: Understanding Logits Processors
alonsosilvaallende.github.io/blog/posts/2...
I start with a basic min length example, then force the model to check its answer, followed by making reasoning models stop thinking once they reach a thinking budget & finally force the model to think longer

New blog post: Understanding Structured Outputs
alonsosilvaallende.github.io/blog/posts/2...
This is the power behind structured ouputs libraries such as Instructor and Marvin.
I provide a basic example of extraction, a slightly more complex one, then classification, and finally SO in WebAssembly.

Where is that?

New blog post: Understanding Function Calling

I provide a basic example of FC, then a slightly more complex example by allowing an LM to use Python. I explain the conversational response as a tool trick. Finally, FC in the browser by using WebAssembly

TIL to do quizzes with JupyterQuiz:

I like this simple way to provide feedback to students. I’m using these quizzes to motivate my kid to learn new things.

TIL you can embed a live REPL on a website:
alonsosilvaallende.github.io/til/posts/20...
I think this is a great tool for writing tutorials and blog posts.
