 `Instructor` helps to ensure you get the exact response type you're looking for when using openai's function call api. Once you've defined the pydantic model for your desired response, `Instructor` handles all the complicated logic in-between - from the parsing/validation of the response to the automatic retries for invalid responses. This means that we can build in validators 'for free' and have a clear separation of concerns between the prompt and the code that calls openai.

 Let's see a more concrete example. Let's say that we've asked our model a question about a text chunk and we want to validate that the generated answer is supported by the source. While we could verify this by looking up the original source manually, a more scalable approach is to use a validator to do this automatically.
 
-Since we only want the information on the chunk during validation, we can use the `model_validate` function in `Pydantic`. This allows us to pass in additional context so that our models have more information to work with when performing validation. This context is a normal python dictionary and can be accessed inside the `info` argument in our validator functions.
