GPT4 is much better than GPT3.5 at producing valid JSON and nothing else.

What I’ve found quite useful is to extract text from the first { and last }. This solves the problem of GPT adding some “helpful” explanations outside the JSON.

I really wanted to use GPT-4 but still just waiting in line :( I should add in your tip, would save me a retry call every now and then I’m sure.

There are also some more lenient JSON parsers that will handle comments and other non-standard things. They can be a bit hard to add in to some frameworks as it’s kind of the opposite of what you are normally trying to do which is reject bad input.
