About

Llama Guard 7B is a specialized content moderation model based on the Llama 2 architecture, designed to safeguard AI interactions. With 7 billion parameters, it excels in classifying and moderating both input prompts and output responses from large language models. The model employs a comprehensive risk taxonomy to identify various categories of harmful content, including violence, hate speech, and sexual content. Trained on diverse datasets, including prompts from the Anthropic dataset and in-house generated responses, Llama Guard 7B has demonstrated superior performance compared to industry-standard content moderation APIs.
