JSON generation

Osmosis recently open-sourced a specialized small language model called Osmosis-Structure-0.6B. It is optimized for generating structured output. Structured output—such as JSON—is essential for use cases like agents and coding. With just 0.6 billion parameters, this lightweight model is ideal for self-hosting on your own device. Why does this matter? Interestingly, prompting a regular LLM to directly produce structured output like JSON often reduces its performance on complex tasks. A better approach is to let the main LLM generate responses in natural language first, then pass that output to Osmosis-Structure-0.…
