About Fructose
Fructose is a Python package that uses decorators and type hints to create a strongly-typed interface for LLM calls. It wraps any function with a typed signature, converting it into a structured LLM invocation that returns predictable outputs.
Best for
Python developers who want reliable, typed interfaces for LLM calls in their applications
Use cases
- Defining typed LLM functions for data extraction and classification
- Integrating LLM calls into existing Python codebases with type safety
- Building reliable LLM pipelines that produce structured outputs
