SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

LlamaGuard provides automated, in-model content safety classification to filter unsafe inputs and outputs in LLM workflows, reducing the risk of harmful content and legal exposure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time input and output moderation using a 6-category safety scheme (violence, sexual content, weapons, substances, self-harm, criminal planning).
  • Seamless deployment options (vLLM, HuggingFace, NeMo Guardrails) and integration with common workflows, APIs, and production rails.
  • Use cases include building chat moderation, safe web assistants, and compliance screening for user-generated content.

Quick Start

Run a local moderation pipeline with LlamaGuard and your preferred serving stack to categorize harmful content in user conversations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I moderate user-generated content for safety in LLM interactions?▼

Moderate user-generated content for safety in LLM interactions by classifying text against a 6-category safety scheme covering violence, sexual content, weapons, substances, self-harm, and criminal planning using LlamaGuard-7b.

Does content moderation with LlamaGuard work with NeMo Guardrails and vLLM?▼

Yes, content moderation with LlamaGuard supports deployment and integration with serving backends including NeMo Guardrails, vLLM, and HuggingFace to enforce safety policies in chatbots and community platforms.

What is automated in-model content safety classification for chatbots?▼

Automated in-model content safety classification filters unsafe inputs and outputs within LLM workflows, reducing harmful content exposure by applying deterministic safety category outputs to chatbot conversations.

Can I use LlamaGuard for both input and output moderation in virtual assistants?▼

Yes, you can use LlamaGuard for both input and output moderation in virtual assistants, applying real-time policy enforcement and abuse prevention across user prompts and generated responses.

What are the limitations of using a pre-trained moderation model for policy enforcement?▼

Limitations of using a pre-trained moderation model like LlamaGuard-7b include reliance on predefined safety categories and the requirement of an integrated serving backend for deterministic classification outputs.
