jeff-guard-multilang

A tiny, fast prompt-injection guard: a 10.5M-parameter LoRA on Jeff-Qwen3.5-0.8B (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. 1.`attack` (yes/no): is this text trying to take control of the model (override instructions, drop safety rules, leak data)?
2. 2.`kind`: benign / directinjection / indirectinjection / jailbreak / exfiltration.

Trained on a custom 103K-row corpus in 12 languages 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. The corpus is published separately: RomanKudriavskii/jeff-guard-multilang-dataset.

Usage

The adapter runs on the Jeff server (v1.2 base required; the server verifies the base checksum):

git clone https://github.com/firelex/jeff && cd jeff
uv sync --no-default-groups --extra lora --extra cuda
uv run --no-default-groups hf download mstrasser/Jeff-Qwen3.5-0.8B --revision v1.2 --local-dir Jeff-Qwen3.5-0.8B-v1.2
uv run --no-default-groups hf download RomanKudriavskii/jeff-guard-multilang --local-dir adapters/guardml
JEFF_CHECKPOINT=Jeff-Qwen3.5-0.8B-v1.2 JEFF_ADAPTERS=adapters PORT=8765 \
  uv run --no-default-groups --extra lora --extra cuda jeff-serve

curl -s localhost:8765/v1/systemone -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{
  "model": "guardml",
  "state": {"application": "An orchestrator assigning tasks to AI agents.",
            "source": "user message",

  "questions": {

  }}'

Exact question wordings and criteria live in decision_config.json - they are part of the model: it was trained and calibrated on them.

Training

• —Recipe: firelex/jeff jeff-train (AutoJev lineage): cross-entropy over option letters + fitted temperature.
• —LoRA r=16, alpha=32, dropout=0, all projection targets incl. Gated DeltaNet projections; 10 484 736 trainable params.
• —Data: 165K decision rows (noul attack + choice kind per corpus row); split by source family (leave-one-source-out); selected step 320/645.
• —Hardware: single RTX 4090, ~7 h.

Limitations

• —Overtriggering on hard negatives (NotInject FPR 0.23): benign prompts containing trigger words ("ignore", "uncensored") may be flagged. Tune the threshold per workload; a v4 iteration is planned.
• —Mosscap-style injections are out of corpus (recall 0.59).
• —Test metrics may be an upper bound (near-duplicate analysis documented in the project repo).
• —State texts longer than ~2K tokens are truncated in training/eval setups; check long documents in parts.
• —Use as a first filter alongside other defenses (tool scoping, sandboxing), not as a complete solution.
