As someone also building constrained decoders against JSON [1], I was hopeful to see the same but I note the following from their documentation:
The model can choose to call a function; if so, the content will be a stringified JSON object adhering to your custom schema (note: the model may generate invalid JSON or hallucinate parameters).
So sadly, it is just fine tuning. There's no hard biasing applied :(. You were so close, but so far OpenAI![1] https://github.com/newhouseb/clownfish
