Executive Summary

TypeLLM introduces the first 'workflow model,' enabling developers to define complex dependencies via a single JSON Schema and execute entire workflows in one API call. Built on SGLang, it uses constrained decoding to guarantee type-safe outputs (enums, bounded numbers) without modifying model weights, supporting stock checkpoints like Qwen.

Open source meets type-safe AI, with TypeLLM.

Chat models give you a reply and decision models give you a choice, but TypeLLM is built to run your whole workflow in one API call.

Most production pipelines need something in between: several typed answers, some depending on others, a few that should exist only under certain conditions.

TypeLLM takes that whole shape as one JSON Schema and executes it as a dependency graph over a single shared context.

Typed LLM outputs, built in the open.

You can get schema-guaranteed outputs from a stock Qwen checkpoint without touching its weights.

The guarantee comes from how the requests are built and decoded.

TypeLLM sits on SGLang and turns a JSON Schema into constrained decoding: one scored token for an enum or boolean, bounded digits for numbers, and a dependency graph that reuses cached prefixes.

So a field can’t return a value outside its enum, because the decoder only considers the allowed candidates.
