Русская версия

A tiny, fast prompt-injection guard built on the Jeff System One decision model. It screens any text your AI agent is about to read - a user task, a tool result, an email, a document - and answers in one forward pass (~20 ms on an RTX 4090), with calibrated probabilities and no generated text:

1. attack (yes/no): is this text trying to take control of the model (override instructions, drop safety rules, leak data)?
2. kind: benign / direct_injection / indirect_injection / jailbreak / exfiltration.

Trained as a 10.5M-parameter LoRA (r=16, alpha=32) on a custom 103K-row corpus in 12 languages (English core + ru, zh, de, fr, es, ja, ko, pt, it, ar, hi, tr), with a dedicated slice for agentic / indirect injections (InjecAgent, BIPIA, LLMail-Inject) - attacks hidden in tool outputs and documents, the primary threat when routing tasks to AI agents.
