Instructor Integration

Instructor (opens in a new tab) (GitHub (opens in a new tab)) is a popular library to get structured LLM outputs.

Instructor makes it easy to reliably get structured data like JSON from Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4-Vision, including open source models like Mistral/Mixtral from Together, Anyscale, Ollama, and llama-cpp-python. By leveraging various modes like Function Calling, Tool Calling and even constrained sampling modes like JSON mode, JSON Schema; Instructor stands out for its simplicity, transparency, and user-centric design. Under the hood, Instructor leverages Pydantic to do the heavy lifting, and provides a simple, easy-to-use API on top of it by helping you manage validation context, retries with Tenacity, and streaming Lists and Partial responses.

This is a cookbook with examples of the Langfuse Integration for Python.

Setup

%pip install langfuse openai pydantic instructor --upgrade

Initialize the Langfuse client with your API keys from the project settings in the Langfuse UI and add them to your environment.

import os
 
# get keys for your project from https://cloud.langfuse.com
os.environ["LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY"] = ""
os.environ["LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY"] = ""
 
# your openai key
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = ""

Get started

It is easy to use instructor with Langfuse. We use the Langfuse OpenAI intgeration (opens in a new tab) and simply patch the client with instructor. This works with both synchronous and asynchronous clients.

Langfuse-Instructor integration with sychnronous OpenAI client

import instructor
from langfuse.openai import OpenAI
from pydantic import BaseModel
 
# Patch Langfuse wrapper of synchronous OpenAI client with instructor
client = instructor.patch(OpenAI())
 
class WeatherDetail(BaseModel):
    city: str
    temperature: int
 
# Run synchronous OpenAI client
weather_info = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    response_model=WeatherDetail,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "The weather in Paris is 18 degrees Celsius."},
    ],
)
 
print(weather_info.model_dump_json(indent=2))

Langfuse-Instructor integration with asychnronous OpenAI client

import instructor
from langfuse.openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic import BaseModel
 
# Patch Langfuse wrapper of synchronous OpenAI client with instructor
client = instructor.apatch(AsyncOpenAI())
 
class WeatherDetail(BaseModel):
    city: str
    temperature: int
 
# Run asynchronous OpenAI client

    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    response_model=WeatherDetail,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "The weather in Paris is 18 degrees Celsius."},
    ],
)
 
response = await task
print(response.model_dump_json(indent=2))

Example

In this example, we first classify customer feedback into categories like PRAISE, SUGGESTION, BUG and QUESTION, and further scores the relvance of each feedback to the business on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0. In this case, we use the asynchronous OpenAI client AsyncOpenAI to classify and evaluate the feedback.
