OpenAI and Gemini models can handle ridiculously complicated and convoluted schemas, if I needed complicated JSON output I wouldn’t use anything that didn’t guarantee it.
I have pushed Gemini 2.5 Pro further than I thought possible when it comes to ridiculously over complicated (by necessity) structured output.
The bigger problem is that LangChain/Python is the least set up to take advantage of strong schemas even when you do have it.
Agree about pillaging for prompts though.
