Structured output has been requested by the community since quite some time, and now we finally found a solution that works great with Transformers JS. So, what you can see is that we have this new Transformers structured output package on NPM that allows you to build a new structured output processor. What it does, it basically hooks into the generation process of new tokens, and it makes sure that every new token actually follows the structure that we
