Llama Prompt Guard 2

meta-llama/llama-prompt-guard-2-86m

Llama Prompt Guard 2 is Meta's specialized classifier model designed to detect and prevent prompt attacks in LLM applications. Part of Meta's Purple Llama initiative, this 86M parameter model identifies malicious inputs like prompt injections and jailbreaks across multiple languages. The model provides efficient, real-time protection while maintaining low latency and compute costs.

Key Technical Specifications

Model Architecture

Built upon Microsoft's mDeBERTa-base architecture, this 86M parameter model is specifically fine-tuned for prompt attack detection, featuring adversarial-attack resistant tokenization and a custom energy-based loss function for improved out-of-distribution performance.

Performance Metrics

The model demonstrates exceptional performance in prompt attack detection:

99.8% AUC score for English jailbreak detection
97.5% recall at 1% false positive rate
81.2% attack prevention rate with minimal utility impact

Use Cases

Prompt Attack Detection

Identifies and prevents malicious prompt attacks designed to subvert LLM applications, including prompt injections and jailbreaks.

Detection of common injection techniques like 'ignore previous instructions'
Identification of jailbreak attempts designed to override safety features
Multilingual support for attack detection across 8 languages

LLM Pipeline Security

Provides an additional layer of defense for LLM applications by monitoring and blocking malicious prompts.

Integration with existing safety measures and content guardrails
Proactive monitoring of prompt patterns to identify misuse
Real-time analysis of user inputs to prevent harmful interactions

Best Practices

Input Processing: For inputs longer than 512 tokens, split into segments and scan in parallel for optimal performance
Model Selection: Use the 86M parameter version for better multilingual support across 8 languages
Security Layers: Implement as part of a multi-layered security approach alongside other safety measures
Attack Awareness: Monitor for evolving attack patterns as adversaries may develop new techniques to bypass detection
