Q: Dynamic structured outputs

[eneroth]

I use this SDK from Clojure, and I have the need to use dynamic schemas, generated at runtime based on user interactions. Both of these factors make it difficult for me to follow the recommended path of declaring static classes to express the schema. The more straightforward path is to generate a JSON schema as a string, and then use that.

The workaround I have found is to putAdditionalBodyProperty, like so:

(.putAdditionalBodyProperty builder "text"
  (JsonValue/from 
    {"format" {"type"   "json_schema"
               "name"   "pick_some_numbers"
               "strict" true
               "schema" {"properties"           {"picked-numbers" {"items" {"type" "number"}, "type" "array"},
                                                 "motivation"     {"type" "string", "description" "Explain why you chose these numbers"}},
                         "required"             ["picked-numbers" "motivation"],
                         "type"                 "object",
                         "additionalProperties" false}}}))

Sorry for the Clojure. The above is just an example.

This appears to give me the the JSON as a string in a ResponseOutputText object, which I can then transform given that I know that I gave it the instruction to return a structured output.

My question is: Is this the least unsupported option available to me, or is there a better option that you would recommend?

Many thanks.

I think you want the responses equivalent of https://github.com/openai/openai-java/blob/main/openai-java-example/src/main/java/com/openai/example/StructuredOutputsRawExample.java, so I added one in this commit: e68d31e

Let me know if that answers your question!

Thanks, that made it a whole lot better!

Is there any way to emit Maps etc. as well?

Could clarify what you mean by "emit Maps"?
