## What's under the hood?
-
Constrained decoding. Custom GBNF grammar that prevents common open model failure modes like overthinking and malformed tool calls.
-
Robust streaming parser. Speculative execution with rollback resolves ambiguous decision points that break naive parsers on open model output.
-
Harness reliability. Mid-stream schema validation and structured error feedback ensure the model always gets a corrective signal to work off.
