Instructions to use Manitchahar/RocketGuard-1b with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Manitchahar/RocketGuard-1b with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Manitchahar/RocketGuard-1b")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Manitchahar/RocketGuard-1b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Manitchahar/RocketGuard-1b")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

RocketGuard-1B

RocketGuard-1B is a merged MiniCPM5-1B fine-tune for text-only guardrail and agent/tool-call safety experiments.

It was trained to produce structured safety decisions for prompts and agent actions, including:

allow
block
require_confirmation
ask_clarification
rewrite

This is a research and learning release. Do not use it as a complete production safety system without independent evaluation.

Model Details

Base model: openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B
Fine-tuning: LoRA SFT with Unsloth / TRL
Release format: merged full model
Modality: text only
Training examples: about 48.7k message-format examples
Prepared held-out eval examples: about 2.3k clean examples
Epochs: 3
Final checkpoint step: 4572
Max sequence length used in training: 2048

Intended Use

RocketGuard-1B is intended for experiments around:

content safety classification
agent/tool-call risk routing
confirmation gating
clarification requests
policy-aware rewriting

Loading

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

repo = "Manitchahar/rocketguard-1b"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    repo,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    device_map="auto",
)

Limitations

This model is text-only. It does not inspect images, audio, files, browser state, private app state, or external tool side effects directly.

Evaluation numbers are pending and should be published separately before making quality claims.
