Its associated paper explores general-purpose safety classification across harm categories, positioning it as an academic baseline within the broader guardrail model literature that includes WildGuard, Aegis, and PolyGuard. ## Specifications | Field | Value | |---|---| | Organization | Independent research (anonymized release) | | Parameters | 7B | | License | Research use | | Modality | Text only | ## Pricing Open weights, free to download for research use. ## Public Benchmark Scores *Scores from Mistral AI's Shieldstral model card, shown for context.
