# Multi-task and Streaming
A common use case of structured extraction is defining a single schema class and then making another schema to create a list to do multiple extraction
```python
from pydantic import BaseModel
class User(BaseModel):
name: str
age: int
class Users(BaseModel):
users: List[User]
```
Defining a task and creating a list of classes is a common enough pattern that we make this convenient by making use of `Iterable[T]`. This lets us dynamically create a new class that:
1. Has dynamic docstrings and class name based on the task
2. Support streaming by collecting tokens until a task is received back out.
## Extracting Tasks using Iterable
By using `Iterable` you get a very convient class with prompts and names automatically defined:
```python
import instructor
from openai import OpenAI
from typing import Iterable
from pydantic import BaseModel
client = instructor.patch(OpenAI(), mode=instructor.function_calls.Mode.JSON)
class User(BaseModel):
name: str
age: int
Users = Iterable[User]
users = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo-1106",
temperature=0.1,
response_model=Users,
stream=False,
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Consider this data: Jason is 10 and John is 30.\
Correctly segment it into entitites\
Make sure the JSON is correct",
},
],
)
for user in users:
assert isinstance(user, User)
print(user)
>>> name="Jason" "age"=10
>>> name="John" "age"=10
```
## Streaming Tasks
We can also generate tasks as the tokens are streamed in by defining an `Iterable[T]` type.
Lets look at an example in action with the same class
```python hl_lines="6 26"
from typing import Iterable
Users = Iterable[User]
users = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4",
temperature=0.1,
stream=True,
response_model=Users,
messages=[
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a perfect entity extraction system",
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": (
f"Consider the data below:\n{input}"
"Correctly segment it into entitites"
"Make sure the JSON is correct"
),
},
],
max_tokens=1000,
)
for user in users:
assert isinstance(user, User)
print(user)
>>> name="Jason" "age"=10
>>> name="John" "age"=10
```
This streaming is still a prototype, but should work quite well for simple schemas.
