Proposed fix: [Outlines 1.x] API-backed models reject regex/CFG output types: "Neither regex-based structured outputs nor the `pattern` keyword in Json Schema are available with OpenAI"
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Use a steerable local model (transformers, llama.cpp, vLLM offline) for regex/CFG constraints, or rewrite the constraint as a plain JSON schema without pattern and validate afterwards.
Option: Use a steerable local model for regex/CFG [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Regex/grammar constraints
Steps:
1. model = outlines.from_transformers(...) or from_llamacpp(...)
2. generator = outlines.Generator(model, Regex(r"...") )
Expected: Constraint enforced during decoding
