Meta's 86M prompt injection and jailbreak detector. Filters malicious prompts and third-party data for LLM apps. 99%+ TPR, <1% FPR. Fast (<2ms GPU). Multilingual (8 languages). Deploy with HuggingFace or batch processing for RAG security.
Prompt Guard is an 86M parameter classifier that detects prompt injections and jailbreak attempts in LLM applications.
Installation:
Basic usage:
Classification labels:
Filter user prompts before LLM:
Common jailbreak patterns detected:
Filter API responses and RAG documents:
Common injection patterns detected:
Filter retrieved documents in batch:
Use Prompt Guard when:
Model performance:
Use alternatives instead:
Combine all three for defense-in-depth:
Issue: High false positive rate on security discussions
Legitimate technical queries may be flagged:
Solution: Context-aware filtering with user reputation:
Issue: Texts longer than 512 tokens truncated
Solution: Sliding window with overlapping chunks:
| Application Type | Threshold | TPR | FPR | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Security | 0.3 | 98.5% | 5.2% | Banking, healthcare, government |
| Balanced | 0.5 | 95.7% | 2.1% | Enterprise SaaS, chatbots |
| Low Friction | 0.7 | 88.3% | 0.8% | Creative tools, research |
