About BAML

Launched Dec 24, 2024

Description

A DSL for building production ready applications powered by LLMs

BAML is an open-source framework designed to make reliable, production ready LLM agents. It's extremely fast (built in rust), and works exactly the same with every language (python, typescript, ruby, java, etc). BAML supports every LLM and makes every model better at structured outputs by using its SAP (schema-aligned parsing) technique.

BAML Key Features

structured outputs for every model
Support for every model (openai, anthropic, gemini, bedrock, vllm, ..)
support for every programming language (python, typescript, ruby, java, go, ..)
Lifecycle management (development, deployment, monitoring)

BAML Use Cases

Parse bank statements
Build multi-agent workflows
chatbots
virtually anything

Pros

Open-source framework, allowing for community collaboration and improvements.
Built in Rust, ensuring high speed and performance.
Supports a variety of programming languages including Python, TypeScript, Ruby, and Java, offering flexibility to developers.
Compatible with every LLM, enhancing their structured output capabilities using SAP (schema-aligned parsing).
Focuses on building reliable and production-ready LLM agents.

Cons

Potential steep learning curve for those not familiar with Rust or DSLs.
Being a new framework, it might have limited documentation or community support initially.
Requires developers to have a technical understanding of LLM and schema parsing to fully utilize the framework.
