# Guardrails page sources ## What the page publishes, and where each number comes from Four models answered the same twelve inputs on SIE Cloud on 2026-09-21. The page publishes one row per model. | model | planted caught | ordinary passed | right | median | |---|---|---|---|---| | `fastino/gliguard-LLMGuardrails-300M` | 4 of 6 | 4 of 6 | 8 of 12 | 229 ms | | `ibm-granite/granite-guardian-3.0-2b` | 5 of 6 | 2 of 6 | 7 of 12 | 306 ms | | `Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B` | 6 of 6 | 5 of 6 | 11 of 12 | 582 ms | | `Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B-FP8` | 5 of 6 | 6 of 6 | 11 of 12 | 849 ms | Every cell in one row is read from the same twelve recorded calls, named below. A row's counts and its latency therefore describe one population, which is the only way the two can be compared with each other. | row | recorded call | transport | |---|---|---| | GLiGuard 300M | `gliguard-snippet` | `/v1/extract`, `prompt_safety`, labels `safe` and `unsafe` | | Granite Guardian 2B | `granite-harm` | `/v1/chat/completions`, the served `harm` policy, `Yes` means unsafe | | Qwen3.5 4B | `stage2-qwen4b` | `/v1/chat/completions`, the pre-registered reviewer prompt | | Qwen3.8 27B | `stage2-qwen27b` | `/v1/chat/completions`, the same pre-registered prompt | - Endpoint: `https://api.superlinked.com` - Run date: 2026-09-21, 108 recorded calls, nine per input, every one HTTP 200 - Weights revisions, from `GET /v1/models`: GLiGuard `4c03acfe6fcef7bb806d0ae721742d593ddba387`, Granite Guardian `e48b7b8acf438d24daa2271ada6df945b5b8895e`. **No weights revision was recorded for either Qwen model, so none is published.** What every call does carry is the deployment's execution digest, which is not a weights revision: `5cbfc8c6…` (GLiGuard), `270e3ce6…` (Granite), `3e8430fc…` (Qwen3.5 4B), `1d4dd4a7…` (Qwen3.8 27B). - Evidence: `superlinked/sie-task-evidence`, revision `beed0b2455fff3c8c41061760d92ba314a0bfe5e`, folder `guardrails`. Public and anonymous-readable. - Runnable example: `superlinked/sie`, `examples/guardrails`, which re-derives every figure above offline with no API key and no inference spend. Site CI compares what the page renders against `apps/site/tests/fixtures/reference/guardrails/bundle/calls.json`, which is the same bytes as the published dataset (sha256 `7d455e7e…`). The page data is generated from it by `build-evidence.py` beside it; nothing on the page is typed in by hand. ### Twelve inputs is a demonstration Nothing here supports a general accuracy claim about any of these four models. Six inputs carry a planted instruction and six are ordinary. One input moving either way changes a row by a whole point. ### Median latency is a round trip, not a service level Each median is over the twelve recorded latencies for that row, measured by one client on one afternoon, and it includes whatever the network was doing. It is not a throughput figure and it is not a published service level. The page states the gap in both forms on purpose. GLiGuard against the 4B is 2.5x, and it is 353 ms, a little over a third of a second, and it will not be the binding constraint for most agent workloads. **Correction, 2026-09-22.** That sentence read "under a third of a second" until review. A third of a second is 333 ms and the gap is 353, so it was false, and it was false in the sentence added specifically to stop the 2.5x ratio overselling the gap. The intent stands and the arithmetic is fixed. ### The generative rows came from five arms, and the page states the floor Five prompt and model arms were recorded over the same twelve inputs: | arm | recorded call | total | |---|---|---| | Qwen3.5 4B, the pre-registered prompt | `stage2-qwen4b` | 11 of 12 | | Qwen3.5 4B, the channel line removed | `stage2-qwen4b-nochannel` | 11 of 12 | | Qwen3.8 27B, the pre-registered prompt | `stage2-qwen27b` | 11 of 12 | | Qwen3.5 4B, a four-word question | `stage2e-qwen4b-bare` | 11 of 12 | | Qwen3.8 27B, a four-word question | `stage2e-qwen27b-bare` | 12 of 12 | The last two arms were added after the first three had been read, so the 12 of 12 is a number chosen with the results already in view. **The page never claims 12 of 12 on its own.** It publishes the two pre-registered rows and states that across all five arms the lowest total was 11 and the highest 12. The prompt used by the three pre-registered arms was written before the first generative call and is in `PRE-REGISTRATION.md` in the dataset folder, unedited since. Two controls from the same run, neither of which changes a published figure. Telling the model which channel the text arrived on changed nothing: the arm that sent the channel line and the arm that did not returned identical verdicts on all twelve. And the four-word question tied the specified prompt on the 4B and beat it on the 27B. ### Granite Guardian's two numbers, and why the second one is ours It catches one more planted instruction than GLiGuard and passes two fewer ordinary messages, and both halves are on the page. The second half is substantially a consequence of how SIE serves it, which the page says in the line under the board. The served catalog entry (`packages/sie_server/models/ibm-granite__granite-guardian-3.0-2b.yaml`) fixes a verdict threshold. The adapter reads the Yes/No verdict-token logprobs, computes P(unsafe) and returns `Yes` when it clears that threshold. The shipped value is `0.5`, which is the model's argmax, in both profiles the entry defines. Superlinked's own measurement on ToxicChat through the generation gate, not IBM's: | threshold | F1 | recall | precision | | |---|---|---|---|---| | **0.5** | 0.26 | 0.97 | 0.15 | catch-everything, **what SIE ships** | | 0.8 | 0.38 | 0.54 | 0.29 | best F1 | | 0.95 | 0.31 | 0.20 | 0.70 | precision-critical | A guard tuned for recall of 0.97 at precision 0.15 is built to over-flag, so passing 2 of 6 ordinary messages is the operating point behaving as configured. Reporting that number beside three other models without saying so would blame the model for a default we chose. **The threshold is not reachable per request.** It sits under `adapter_options.loadtime.guard.threshold`, is read once into the adapter at load, and no field in `/v1/chat/completions` or the gateway carries it. `/v1/models` advertises only a boolean `guard` capability, never the value. So an operator picks it per deployment and a caller cannot vary it, which is why the page says "chosen per deployment, not per request" rather than offering it as a fourth thing a reader can change. **Correction, 2026-09-22.** An earlier draft of this page attributed the recall/precision pair to IBM's model card. It is not there. It is Superlinked's measurement of a served configuration, and it is labelled that way above. IBM's card does publish a ToxicChat F1 of 0.37 under the `harm` definition and a recall of 1.0 for ToxicChat's jailbreak prompts under `jailbreak`: . Neither figure is on the page. SIE Cloud also serves this model under one risk dimension, `harm`, fixed in the same catalog entry. A per-request `chat_template_kwargs.guardian_config.risk_name` is accepted by the gateway and then discarded by the worker, so these requests send none. **Correction, 2026-09-21.** An earlier version of this file said Granite Guardian "returned an empty string for 7 inputs and `No` for 5, and never `Yes`." That was wrong as a statement about the model and it is corrected rather than deleted, because it was published and read as a verdict on a model we serve. The cause was transport. That run went through `/v1/generate` with a plain text prompt, which skips the chat template, so the risk template never ran and the model was never asked the question (superlinked/sie-internal#4371 covers the empty verdicts, superlinked/sie-internal#4370 the skipped template). Every Granite figure on this page comes from the `/v1/chat/completions` re-record, which does apply the template. ### Nothing about cost The three chat models record their token counts and credits; the `/v1/extract` calls record neither. The four cannot be compared on cost from these recordings, so the page says nothing about cost. ### What the page shows, and what the data holds The data holds twelve inputs and four verdicts on each, forty-eight verdicts in all. The page renders five of the twelve inputs: one in the hero, three in the case grid, one in the playground. That is a display decision, not a filter on the evidence, and the totals line on the page states it. | surface | input | shown | |---|---|---| | hero | `bipia-card-charge-injected` | all four rows' verdicts | | case grid | `xstest-kill-python-process` | three rows' verdicts | | case grid | `deepset-show-prompt-texts` | three rows' verdicts | | case grid | `llmail-office-address` | three rows' verdicts | | playground | `injecagent-review-tool-result` | the GLiGuard label and score | The three grid cases were chosen so that a different model is the one that gets each right, which is the section's whole claim. `build-evidence.py` asserts that against the recordings before the page builds, and a unit test asserts that each of the three displayed models is wrong somewhere in the grid, so the selection cannot drift into three wins for one model. The hero shows an input all four models flagged. GLiGuard classifies the whole input in one pass and returns no spans. The three chat models return a line of text. Where the page marks a line, the mark comes from the benchmark's own record of the text it inserted (BIPIA and LLMail-Inject), never from a model. ### Recorded and not displayed - `gliguard-prompt-safety`, the served default with no params, and `gliguard-jailbreak`, all twelve published jailbreak labels at threshold 0. Both are in the dataset. No published figure rests on either, and no label on the six attacks reached the model card's 0.4 multi-label threshold. - Ten two-stage cascades, scored offline from these same recordings: a screen in front of a reviewer, for each of the two screens and five reviewers. The best scored 11 of 12 and not one beat its own reviewer alone, because an input the screen passes never reaches the reviewer. The example's `score.py` re-derives this. ## Primary sources Every input is verbatim source text or the output of the source benchmark's own published construction code. ### BIPIA email benchmark - Microsoft Research, *Benchmarking and Defending Against Indirect Prompt Injection Attacks on Large Language Models* (KDD 2025), repository commit `a004b69ec0dd446e0afd461d98cb5e96e120a5d0`: - License: MIT - Email context: `benchmark/email/test.jsonl` line 2, SHA-256 `217b403faaa1d0cb12c24892bea39f4a0b9e2819919ac7e2b902006e28278cdb` - Attack text: `benchmark/text_attack_test.json`, "Scams & Fraud" item 2, SHA-256 `75750e7b4e8b34e8f9d88d89b357aeaaf02bd07f9e493ccd37eda74a0cd7c7f8` - Construction: BIPIA `insert_end` from `bipia/data/utils.py` (context and attack joined by one newline) - Display: header names relabelled; blank lines and repeated spaces collapsed ### InjecAgent - UIUC Kang Lab, *InjecAgent: Benchmarking Indirect Prompt Injections in Tool-Integrated LLM Agents*, commit `f19c9f2c79a41046eb13c03c51a24c567a8ffa07`: - License: MIT - File: `data/test_cases_dh_base.json`, SHA-256 `0a8186468d21389af432e8c7b399ae42264d1b93a07b65c7a489468508604305` - Derivation: the AmazonGetProductDetails case with the AugustSmartLockGrantGuestAccess attacker tool.
