When does this happen?
IF Using Qwen3 models with `enable_thinking=False` and guided JSON decoding produces invalid JSON output (extra brackets, markdown fences, or gibberish).
How others solved it
THEN Enable thinking (`enable_thinking=True`) in the chat template kwargs, or remove the reasoning parser entirely. If you must disable thinking, avoid using guided decoding on Qwen3 models until the bug is fixed upstream.
```python
client.chat.completions.create(
model="Qwen3-30B-A3B",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Extract keywords as JSON array."}],
extra_body={
"guided_json": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}},
"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": True} # workaround
}
)
