Prompt Guard Finetuned

🚀 Model Card - Prompt Guard

Prompt Guard is a classifier model designed to detect prompt attacks in LLM - powered applications. It can identify both explicitly malicious prompts and data with injected inputs, helping developers reduce the risk of such attacks.

🚀 Quick Start

LLM - powered applications are vulnerable to prompt attacks. Prompt Guard, trained on a large corpus of attacks, can categorize input strings into different types of attacks and benign ones. For best results, developers are advised to fine - tune the model on application - specific data.

✨ Features

• Multi - label Classification: Categorizes input strings into benign, injection, and jailbreak.
• Multilingual Support: Trained to detect attacks in multiple languages, including English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Thai.
• Small and Efficient: A small model that can run as a filter before each LLM call without specialized infrastructure.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from transformers import pipeline

classifier = pipeline("text - classification", model="meta - llama/Prompt - Guard - 86M")
classifier("Ignore your previous instructions.")
# [{'label': 'JAILBREAK', 'score': 0.9999452829360962}]

Advanced Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

model_id = "meta - llama/Prompt - Guard - 86M"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)

text = "Ignore your previous instructions."
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(**inputs).logits

predicted_class_id = logits.argmax().item()
print(model.config.id2label[predicted_class_id])
# ATTACK

📚 Documentation

Model Scope

PromptGuard is a multi - label model that classifies input strings into three categories:

Any string not in these categories is classified as benign. The model has a context window of 512, and longer inputs are recommended to be split for detection.

Model Usage

• Out - of - the - box Filter: Deploy the model directly to filter high - risk prompts in scenarios where immediate mitigation is needed and some false positives are acceptable.
• Threat Detection and Mitigation: Use the model to prioritize inputs for investigation and create annotated training data for fine - tuning.
• Fine - tuned Solution: Fine - tune the model on application - specific input distributions for high precision and recall of malicious prompts.

Modeling Strategy

We use mDeBERTa - v3 - base as the base model for PromptGuard. It's a multilingual version of DeBERTa, which significantly improves performance on multilingual evaluation benchmarks. The model is small, suitable for running as a filter before each LLM call, and can be deployed or fine - tuned without GPUs. The training dataset combines open - source datasets, synthetic injections, and red - teaming data.

Model Limitations

• Adaptive Attacks: As an open - source model, Prompt Guard may be vulnerable to adversarial attacks.
• Application - Specific Attacks: Prompt attacks can be too application - specific, and fine - tuning on application - specific data is recommended.

Model Performance

We evaluated Prompt Guard on several datasets:

The model performs well on evaluation sets and generalizes to new distributions, but fine - tuning can improve performance. Using the multilingual mDeBERTa model boosts performance on the multilingual set.
