A practical walkthrough showing how to use a Groq-hosted LLaMA model to extract structured JSON features from raw text (customer support tickets) and combine them with numeric columns to train a scikit-learn random forest classifier. Covers dataset creation, LLM-based feature extraction with a Pydantic schema, merging engineered features into a Pandas DataFrame, and training/evaluating the resulting tabular model. Also includes production tips on batching, caching, and retry strategies for LLM API calls.
