Install our magic
package manager:
curl -ssL https://magic.modular.com/ | bash
Then run the source
command that's printed in your terminal.
Install Max Pipelines in order to run this model.
magic global install max-pipelines && magic global update
Start a local endpoint for Llama-Guard-3/8B-Q6_K:
max-pipelines serve --huggingface-repo-id=meta-llama/Llama-Guard-3-8B \
--weight-path=legraphista/Llama-Guard-3-8B-IMat-GGUF/Llama-Guard-3-8B.Q6_K.gguf
The endpoint is ready when you see the URI printed in your terminal:
Server ready on http://0.0.0.0:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
Now open another terminal to send a request using curl
:
curl -N http://0.0.0.0:8000/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "meta-llama/Llama-Guard-3-8B",
"stream": true,
"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Who won the World Series in 2020?"}
]
}' | grep -o '"content":"[^"]*"' | sed 's/"content":"//g' | sed 's/"//g' | tr -d '

🎉 Hooray! You’re running Generative AI. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible.
Llama Guard 3 is a highly advanced large language model optimized for content safety classification across a broad spectrum of digital interactions. This iteration is an enhancement of the prior models, delivering superior content moderation in various scenarios, including multilingual environments.
Model Description: Pre-trained on the Llama-3.1-8B architecture, this model is fine-tuned specifically for safety classification in both prompt and response contexts. It effectively identifies whether content is safe, unsafe, and specifies violated content categories if unsafe.
Supported Languages: English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Thai.
Hazard Coverage: Safeguards against a comprehensive list of 14 categorized hazards, including but not limited to violent crimes, privacy invasion, intellectual property violations, and code interpreter abuse.
Evaluation and Performance: Demonstrates notable improvements over previous models and competing technologies like GPT4, with lower false positive rates and higher precision in safety assessments.
Llama Guard 3 employs MLCommons standardized hazards taxonomy, addressing 14 safety categories, including:
The model is also available in a quantized version, reducing deployment costs without substantial performance decline, maintaining competitive safety standards.
Llama Guard 3 integrates seamlessly for responsible AI system deployment and is available via Llama 3.1 reference implementations. Its features are instrumental in boosting safety performance while considering potential false positives in categorizing benign prompts.
While exhibiting robust performance, the model's effectiveness is contingent upon its training data and is susceptible to adversarial attacks. Continuous improvement is necessary for categories requiring updated factual knowledge such as intellectual property and elections.
Llama Guard 3's configurations and customizations are accessible through Llama Recipes, providing an adaptable framework for developers aiming to integrate state-of-the-art safety features into applications.

You can quickly deploy Llama-Guard-3-8B
to an endpoint using our MAX container.
It includes the latest version of MAX with GPU support and our Python-based inference server called MAX Serve.
With the following Docker command, you’ll get an OpenAI-compatible endpoint running Llama-Guard-3-8B
:
docker run --gpus 1 \
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
--env "HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1" \
--env "HF_TOKEN=" \
-p 8000:8000 \
docker.modular.com/modular/max-openai-api:nightly \
--huggingface-repo-id meta-llama/Llama-Guard-3-8B \
--weight-path=legraphista/Llama-Guard-3-8B-IMat-GGUF/Llama-Guard-3-8B.Q6_K.gguf
In order to download the model from Hugging Face, you just need to fill in the
HF_TOKEN
value with your access token,
unless the model is from https://huggingface.co/modularai
.
For more information about the container image, see the MAX container documentation.
To learn more about how to deploy MAX to the cloud, check out our MAX Serve tutorials.
