# AI Guardrails Index

## AI Guardrails Categories

We broke AI safety down into 6 categories and curated datasets and models that demonstrate the state of AI guardrails using LLMs and other open source models.

### **Jailbreaking**  
Jailbreaking LLMs bypasses safety measures to generate harmful content, posing risks across industries. Learn how effective models resist attempts to bypass their safety controls and restrictions.  
**Best Model**  
Detect Jailbreak  
**Performance:** 0.81  
**Top Models Comparison:**  
0.81

### **PII Detection**  
Exposing unredacted PII in AI applications risks compliance violations and privacy breaches. Learn how well models identify and mask PII to ensure compliance and privacy.  
**Best Model**  
Guardrails PII  
**Performance:** 0.65  
**Top Models Comparison:**  
0.65  
0.62

### **Content Moderation**  
Unchecked AI outputs can spread harmful content, posing reputational and compliance risks. Learn how well models filter toxic language and prevent the amplification of harmful content.  
**Best Model**  
Toxic Language  
**Performance:** 0.72  
**Top Models Comparison:**  
0.72  
0.60

### **Topic Restriction**  
LLMs can generate off-topic or unauthorized content, leading to misuse and compliance concerns. Learn how well identify deviation from topic boundaries and guidelines.  
**Best Model**  
Restrict to Topic (Hybrid)  
**Performance:** 0.93  
**Top Models Comparison:**  
0.93  
0.91

### **Competitors Check**  
The inadvertent creation or favoring of competitor mentions can impact brand equity and control. Learn how well models handle discussions of competing AI companies appropriately.  
**Best Model**  
Competitor Check  
**Performance:** 0.67  
**Top Models Comparison:**  
0.67  
0.64

### **Hallucination**  
AI hallucinations can result in inaccurate and misleading text that is nonetheless compelling and convincing. Learn how different models tend to generate false or unsupported information.  
**Best Model**  
Provenance LLM  
**Performance:** 0.77  
**Top Models Comparison:**  
0.77  
0.75

## Model Leaderboard

A comprehensive visual comparison of how top-performing models stack up across key benchmarks like hallucinations, PII data exposure, and alignment with your AI strategy.
