10How does grammar-constrained decoding build the allowed-token mask at every step, and what does that cost per step at batch 128?▼hardNewOpenAIAnthropicDatabricks○ sign inThe model never sees the grammar; the sampler does, as a 16 KB bitmask per request per step. The answer builds that mask from an automaton, prices the naive version at ten milliseconds, and shows how precompilation removes almost all of it.Open full answer →
16Structured output slowed generation. Is the cause grammar compilation, mask construction, or host scheduling?▼hardNewNVIDIAFireworks AITogether AI◆ premiumUse cold-schema and warm-batch traces to separate compilation from recurring stalls. Identify the exposed delay, choose a targeted experiment, and preserve output correctness.Open full answer →
