Prompt Guard implements a lightweight transformer-based binary classifier that analyzes input text to detect prompt injection and jailbreak attempts before they reach the target LLM. The model uses a fine-tuned encoder architecture trained on adversarial prompt datasets to distinguish between benign user inputs and malicious injection patterns, operating as a preprocessing filter that can be deployed independently of the underlying LLM provider.
Unique: Part of Meta's Purple Llama project combining red-team (adversarial) and blue-team (defensive) approaches; trained on CyberSecEval v2+ benchmark datasets that include MITRE-mapped prompt injection attacks and visual prompt injection patterns, providing broader coverage than single-source training data
vs alternatives: Provides open-source, deployable-anywhere binary classification versus closed-source API-dependent solutions, with training grounded in comprehensive cybersecurity benchmarks rather than ad-hoc datasets
Prompt Guard extends injection detection across multiple languages by leveraging machine-translated versions of adversarial prompt datasets from the CyberSecEval benchmarks. The model processes non-English inputs through the same transformer encoder, enabling detection of injection attempts crafted in languages other than English without requiring separate language-specific models or retraining.
Unique: Leverages CyberSecEval's multilingual dataset (mitre_prompts_multilingual_machine_translated.json) to provide single-model multilingual detection rather than language-specific classifiers, reducing deployment complexity while acknowledging translation-based limitations
vs alternatives: Single unified model for multiple languages versus maintaining separate classifiers per language; trades off native-speaker accuracy for operational simplicity and consistency
Prompt Guard operates as a component within the broader LlamaFirewall security framework, which orchestrates multiple scanner modules (including Prompt Guard, Llama Guard for output filtering, and CodeShield for code-specific threats) into a coordinated defense pipeline. The architecture allows Prompt Guard to be deployed as the first-stage input filter, with results passed to downstream scanners for comprehensive threat assessment across the full LLM interaction lifecycle.
Unique: Designed as a modular component within LlamaFirewall's scanner architecture, enabling composition with Llama Guard (output filtering) and CodeShield (code threat detection) in a coordinated pipeline rather than standalone deployment
vs alternatives: Provides architectural integration with complementary safeguards versus point solutions that require custom orchestration; enables defense-in-depth but requires more setup than standalone classifiers
Prompt Guard's detection capabilities are grounded in and evaluated against the CyberSecEval benchmark suite, which includes MITRE-mapped prompt injection tests, visual prompt injection attacks, and adversarial patterns from multiple attack categories. The model's performance is measured against these standardized benchmarks, providing transparency into which attack types it can detect and which remain out-of-scope, enabling users to understand coverage gaps and make informed deployment decisions.
Unique: Trained and evaluated against CyberSecEval v2+ which includes MITRE-mapped attack categories, visual prompt injection, and autonomous offensive cyber operations — broader threat coverage than single-category injection detection benchmarks
vs alternatives: Provides transparent, reproducible evaluation against industry-standard benchmarks versus proprietary evaluation claims; enables users to understand specific attack coverage rather than generic 'accuracy' metrics
Prompt Guard is optimized as a lightweight model (~1B parameters) designed for real-time inference in request preprocessing pipelines, with minimal latency overhead added to LLM API calls. The model uses efficient transformer architecture patterns (likely distilled or pruned variants) to enable sub-100ms inference on standard hardware, allowing deployment as a synchronous preprocessing step without requiring asynchronous queuing or significant infrastructure investment.
Unique: Designed as a ~1B parameter model optimized for real-time inference in synchronous request pipelines, enabling deployment as a preprocessing step without asynchronous queuing or significant infrastructure overhead
vs alternatives: Faster inference than larger safeguard models (e.g., Llama Guard 2 at 7B parameters) enabling synchronous preprocessing; trades off potential accuracy gains from larger models for operational simplicity and latency
Prompt Guard outputs logits or confidence scores (in addition to binary classification) that can be thresholded to adjust the precision-recall tradeoff based on application requirements. Users can configure detection sensitivity to prioritize either false-positive reduction (higher threshold, fewer blocks) or false-negative reduction (lower threshold, more blocks), enabling tuning for specific threat models and user experience requirements without retraining.
Unique: Exposes confidence scores enabling threshold-based tuning without retraining, allowing users to calibrate detection sensitivity to their specific precision-recall requirements and threat model
vs alternatives: Provides post-hoc tuning capability versus fixed binary classifiers; enables operational flexibility but requires more sophisticated deployment infrastructure than simple true/false filtering
Prompt Guard includes comprehensive model card documentation (MODEL_CARD.md in repository) that specifies the threat model, training data sources, evaluation methodology, performance metrics, and known limitations. This documentation enables users to understand the model's design assumptions, evaluate its suitability for their use case, and make informed decisions about deployment and complementary safeguards.
Unique: Provides comprehensive model card grounded in Purple Llama's purple-team (red+blue) approach, documenting both adversarial attack patterns (red team) and defensive evaluation methodology (blue team)
vs alternatives: Open-source model card versus proprietary safeguards with minimal documentation; enables informed evaluation but requires users to interpret technical documentation
Prompt Guard is released as open-source with publicly available model weights and inference code, enabling users to download, inspect, and deploy the model in their own infrastructure without reliance on external APIs or vendor lock-in. The model can be deployed on-premises, in private cloud environments, or at the edge, with full control over data flow and inference infrastructure.
Unique: Open-source release with full model weights and inference code as part of Meta's Purple Llama project, enabling self-hosted deployment versus proprietary API-only safeguards
vs alternatives: Full transparency and control versus managed API services; requires more operational overhead but eliminates vendor lock-in and data transmission to external services
