AegisGuard — Toxic Content Detector for Social Media

AegisGuard is a fine-tuned version of Llama Guard 3 1B for multi-class toxic content detection on social media platforms. It classifies text into 5 categories and recommends a moderation action (allow / mute / block). Built to handle real-world social media content including Hinglish (Hindi + English code-mixed) text, jailbreak attempts, offensive content, and spam.

Uses

Direct Use

Content moderation API for social media platforms. Classifies user-generated content and returns a moderation action (allow / mute / block) based on label and confidence score.

Downstream Use

• Social media comment moderation
• Chat application safety filtering
• Community platform trust & safety pipelines
• Integration with AegisGuard FastAPI service

Out-of-Scope Use

• Not intended for audio or image classification directly
• Not a replacement for human moderation on edge cases
• Not trained for legal or medical risk assessment

How to Get Started with the Model

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

LABELS = {
    0: "safe",
    1: "hinglish_toxic", 
    2: "guardrail_break",
    3: "offensive",
    4: "spam"
}

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Timios74/aegisguard-llama-guard")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
    "Timios74/aegisguard-llama-guard",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)
model.eval()

def classify(text: str) -> dict:
    inputs = tokenizer(
        text,
        return_tensors="pt",
        truncation=True,
        max_length=256
    ).to(model.device)
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(**inputs).logits
        probs  = torch.softmax(logits, dim=-1)
        pred   = torch.argmax(probs, dim=-1).item()
        score  = probs[0][pred].item()
    
    label = LABELS[pred]
    return {
        "label": label,
        "confidence": round(score, 4),
        "flagged": pred != 0,
        "action": "allow" if pred == 0 else ("block" if score >= 0.90 else "mute")
    }

# Examples
print(classify("abe saale chup kar bc"))
# → {"label": "hinglish_toxic", "confidence": 0.91, "flagged": true, "action": "block"}

print(classify("Hey, how are you doing today?"))
# → {"label": "safe", "confidence": 0.98, "flagged": false, "action": "allow"}
