Llama Guard 3 8b Overview

Llama Guard 3 8b is a Llama-3.1-8B pretrained model fine-tuned by Meta for content safety classification across LLM inputs and responses. It evaluates prompts and outputs against 14 hazard categories from the MLCommons taxonomy, including violent crimes, hate speech, and intellectual property violations, generating classifications as safe or unsafe with detailed violation explanations. Supporting eight languages—English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Thai—this 8-billion-parameter model features a 131,072-token context window and quantized variants for efficient deployment.

What is Llama Guard 3 8b?

Llama Guard 3 8B is a Llama-3.1-8B pretrained model fine-tuned by Meta for content safety classification. It evaluates both LLM inputs (prompts) and outputs (responses) to determine if content is safe or unsafe, identifying violations across 14 standardized hazard categories like violent crimes, hate speech, and intellectual property issues. Supporting 8 languages including English, Hindi, and Spanish, Llama Guard 3 8B generates detailed explanations for classifications and excels in tool use safety, such as preventing code interpreter abuse.

How Llama Guard 3 8B Works

Prompt Classification

Analyzes user inputs before processing to detect potential hazards and block unsafe prompts early in the pipeline.

Response Moderation

Evaluates AI-generated outputs post-generation, flagging unsafe content and specifying violated categories with explanations.

Hazard Categorization

Classifies content into 14 MLCommons hazard types, including crimes, harassment, and content policy violations across multilingual inputs.

Multilingual Processing

Handles safety checks in 8 languages (English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai) with consistent accuracy.

Tool Use Protection

Detects and prevents exploits in code interpreters, denial-of-service attacks, and privilege escalations through specialized safety alignment.

Structured Output Generation

Returns JSON-like text indicating "SAFE" or "UNSAFE" status, lists violated categories, and provides reasoning for transparency.

Quantized Deployment

Available in half-precision and 8-bit versions reducing size by 40% while maintaining performance for efficient inference.

Real-Time Integration

Deploys as an LLM API for seamless integration with Llama 3.1 models, enabling system-level safety in production environments.
