Private AI safeguards

Safety and moderation models for self-hosted AI

Compare models that classify prompts and responses or apply policy before and after generation. A guard model is one control in a wider safety design and must be tested against the organisation's actual policy.

Selection approach

Choose for the workload, then size the complete deployment

Map the model's policy taxonomy to your own rules before deployment. False positives, false negatives, multilingual coverage and attempts to bypass the classifier should all be measured.

01

What to compare

  • Policy categories and custom-policy support
  • Input, output and tool-call coverage
  • Language and domain coverage
  • Required audit and appeal workflow

02

What changes the hardware

  • Low-latency pre- and post-generation checks
  • Capacity for every production request
  • Isolation from the main generation service
  • Logging and retention outside the model

03

What to test before purchase

  • False-positive and false-negative rates
  • Adversarial and multilingual policy tests
  • Added end-to-end latency
  • Fail-safe behaviour when the guard service is unavailable

Model-to-hardware fit

Memory fit is the first gate, not the final recommendation

  1. 01Exact model version

    Use the precise model version, numerical format and complete software pipeline intended for production.

  2. 02Minimum memory

    Check whether it can load on one GPU or requires supported multi-GPU loading.

  3. 03Working headroom

    Allow for context, cache, batch, media encoders and concurrent users.

  4. 04Workload test

    Measure quality, latency and stability on representative work.

What a complete safety & moderation deployment needs

Model weights are only one part of the system. Data access, runtime software, storage, monitoring and administrator handover also affect a reliable deployment.
