Libraries

How to use yushaohan/ProGuard-3B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="yushaohan/ProGuard-3B")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("yushaohan/ProGuard-3B")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("yushaohan/ProGuard-3B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.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(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

	# ProGuard-3B

	ProGuard is a proactive multimodal safeguard model. It is designed to identify and reason about unknown risks across both text and visual modalities, moving beyond rigid predefined classification systems.

	- Arxiv Paper: [ProGuard: Towards Proactive Multimodal Safeguard](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.23573)
	- Project Page: [ProGuard Homepage](https://yushaohan.github.io/ProGuard/)
	- GitHub Repository: [ProGuard Implementation](https://github.com/yushaohan/ProGuard), [DeepSafe Implementation](https://github.com/AI45Lab/DeepSafe)

	This model is the official open-source implementation of ProGuard. For deployment instructions, please refer to [this link](https://github.com/yushaohan/ProGuard/tree/master/deploy).
