Proposal(s) for Image-output DX: https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/issues/2746 @aaronv (BAML)

Also CC @Vaibhav (BAML 🐑)

now that image gen models are becoming much more common, I can see us wanting to support this!

A basic output image type seems doable to me. Inlining them in classes also but that is much trickier and probably lots of corner cases.

yea i wonder if we can support top level

image

and

image[]

types

Yep that is 100% doable, it is actually similar work to supporting tool call apis

or even

image | string

or

(image | string)[]

Cause we need to extract more types of blobs from llm api responses and map abck to types

yep

Yeah, we have very immediate need for it. I'm working around it for now, which is not too hard (see: https://github.com/kemiller/brainpipe-rb/blob/c20ada567fe58f29d4995481296d09ff0af116f1/lib/brainpipe/operations/baml_raw.rb#L73) but first-class support would be awesome
