Overview
Extracts standalone claims, exact input quotes, and a factual-versus-subjective label from text. A Pydantic validator rejects empty quotes and quotes absent from the input. Use before an evidence-checking stage in fact-checking or hallucination detection workflows.
What it does
Claim Extraction breaks a block of text into individual atomic claims. Each claim receives a short standalone sentence, an exact quote copied from the input, and an is_verifiable flag. The flag distinguishes factual statements that can be checked against a source from opinions or subjective phrases.
The example provides a starting point for fact-checking and hallucination detection pipelines. It performs the decomposition step before claims are checked against retrieved evidence. A claim marked verifiable is a candidate for checking; the label itself does not establish that the claim is true.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use this pattern when a larger answer contains several statements that need separate treatment. The included bottle example combines a measurable capacity with a subjective judgment about its finish, illustrating why factual and opinion statements should be separated.
Use an evidence-checking stage after extraction when your goal is factual verification. This example organizes claims and validates their quotations; its implemented operation is not evidence retrieval or a verdict on factual accuracy.
Inputs and outputs
The extract_claims function accepts text and returns a ClaimList containing Claim records. Pydantic defines the response structure, including text, quote, and is_verifiable.
The original input is passed through the validation context. An after-model validator requires that context to contain a string, then checks every quote for nonempty content and exact occurrence in the submitted text. Missing context or an unsupported quote raises a ValueError. This ties supporting quotations to the submitted text rather than accepting arbitrary citation strings.
The entry-point example iterates over the result and prints each claim with its verifiability flag.
Integrations
Instructor creates a provider client using Groq and the GROQ_MODEL environment variable. The request uses ClaimList as its response model and supplies the original text as validation context:
client = instructor.from_provider("groq/" + os.environ["GROQ_MODEL"])
Pydantic supplies the typed models, field descriptions, and model validation used to enforce quote grounding.

Claim Extraction Example
This example shows how to use Instructor to decompose a block of text into individual atomic claims and label each one as verifiable (a factual statement that can be checked against a source) or not (an opinion or subjective phrase).
This pattern is a useful building block for fact-checking and hallucination detection pipelines, where an LLM answer is first broken into small claims before each claim is verified against retrieved evidence.
