What structured data support are you referring to? I'm out of the loop, did they add something new in the API?

ChatGPT's June update added support for "function calling", which in practice is structured data I/O marketed very poorly: https://openai.com/blog/function-calling-and-other-api-updat...

Here's an example of using structured data for better output control, lightly leveraging my Python package to reduce LoC: https://github.com/minimaxir/simpleaichat/blob/main/examples...

How has your experience with function calls been? We tried doing code generation and making ChatGPT generate diffs and it seems to perform worse than the March edition.

It’s hit or miss - 8/10 it will do what I ask it to do, but a lot of times even the JSON output is not parseable so you definitely need to add retry logic for that in your product.
