Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Safety-Guard-8B-v3 Overview
Description
This container houses the Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Safety-Guard-8B-v3, which is a multilingual content safety model that moderates human-LLM interaction content and classifies user prompts and LLM responses as safe or unsafe. If the content is unsafe, the model additionally returns a response with a list of categories that the content violates. It supports 9 languages: English, Spanish, Mandarin, German, French, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic, and Thai. The base large language model (LLM) is the multilingual Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model from Meta. The model utilizes the Nemotron-Safety-Guard-Dataset-v3 dataset, synthetically curated using the CultureGuard pipeline, to ensure robust safety measures.
The model can be prompted using an instruction and a taxonomy of unsafe risks to be categorized. The instruction format for prompt moderation is shown below under input and output examples.
The container components are ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
