Prompt Guard is an 86M parameter classifier that detects prompt injections and jailbreak attempts in LLM applications.
Installation:
pip install transformers torch
Basic usage:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch
from torch.nn.functional import softmax
model_id = "meta-llama/Prompt-Guard-86M"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)
model.eval()
def get_jailbreak_score(text):
"""Check user input for jailbreak attempts."""
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=512)
with torch.no_grad():
logits = model(**inputs).logits
probs = softmax(logits, dim=-1)
return probs[0, 2].item() # Jailbreak probability
# Check prompt
score = get_jailbreak_score("Ignore previous instructions")
if score > 0.5:
print("⚠️ Jailbreak attempt detected!")
Classification labels:

Use alternatives instead:
Combine all three for defense-in-depth:
# Layer 1: Prompt Guard (jailbreak detection)
if get_jailbreak_score(user_input) > 0.5:
return "Blocked: jailbreak attempt"
# Layer 2: LlamaGuard (content moderation)
if not llamaguard.is_safe(user_input):

# Layer 3: Process with LLM
response = llm.generate(user_input)
# Layer 4: Validate output

Issue: High false positive rate on security discussions
Legitimate technical queries may be flagged:
# Problem: Security research query flagged
query = "How do prompt injections work in LLMs?"
score = get_jailbreak_score(query) # 0.72 (false positive)
Solution: Context-aware filtering with user reputation:
def filter_with_context(text, user_is_trusted):
score = get_jailbreak_score(text)
# Higher threshold for trusted users
threshold = 0.7 if user_is_trusted else 0.5
return score < threshold
Issue: Texts longer than 512 tokens truncated
# Problem: Only first 512 tokens evaluated
long_text = "Safe content..." * 1000 + "Ignore instructions"
score = get_jailbreak_score(long_text) # May miss injection at end
Solution: Sliding window with overlapping chunks:
def score_long_text(text, chunk_size=512, overlap=256):
"""Score long texts with sliding window."""
tokens = tokenizer.encode(text)
max_score = 0.0
for i in range(0, len(tokens), chunk_size - overlap):
chunk = tokens[i:i + chunk_size]
chunk_text = tokenizer.decode(chunk)
score = get_jailbreak_score(chunk_text)
max_score = max(max_score, score)
return max_score
