Wizard101 L0 Bouncer

Fast safety classifier for the first layer of a multi-level content moderation cascade. Built on DeBERTa-v3-xsmall for speed and efficiency.

Model Details

• Base Model: microsoft/deberta-v3-xsmall
• Task: Binary text classification (safe/harmful)
• Training Data: 124K samples
• Size: ~70MB
• Inference: <10ms per sample

Description

L0 Bouncer is the first line of defense in a safety cascade system. It quickly filters obvious safe/harmful content, passing uncertain cases to more powerful downstream models (L1 GuardReasoner, L2/L3 reasoning models).

Design Goals:

• Maximum speed for high-throughput filtering
• High recall on harmful content (minimize false negatives)
• Route uncertain cases to L1+ for deeper analysis

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# Load model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("vincentoh/wizard101-l0-bouncer")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("vincentoh/wizard101-l0-bouncer")
model.eval()

# Inference
text = "How do I make a cake?"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=512)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    probs = torch.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)

    # Index 0 = safe, Index 1 = harmful
    safe_prob = probs[0][0].item()
    harmful_prob = probs[0][1].item()

    if harmful_prob > safe_prob:
        prediction = "harmful"
        confidence = harmful_prob
    else:
        prediction = "safe"
        confidence = safe_prob

print(f"Prediction: {prediction} ({confidence:.2%})")

Cascade Integration

# Route to L1 if confidence < 0.9
needs_l1 = confidence < 0.9

if needs_l1:
    # Send to GuardReasoner-8B for detailed analysis
    pass

Performance

Benchmark results on safety datasets:

Note: Lower accuracy on adversarial datasets (JailbreakBench) is expected - these cases route to L1+ for deeper analysis.
