Greptile SummaryAdds support for Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety’s line-oriented response format.
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| nemoguardrails/llm/output_parsers.py | Implements line-oriented Nemotron safety parsing and now rejects duplicate verdict fields, including same-line contradictions. |
| nemoguardrails/llm/taskmanager.py | Registers the new Nemotron prompt- and response-safety parser names. |
| tests/test_content_safety_output_parsers.py | Adds comprehensive parser coverage, including regressions for same-line duplicate verdicts. |
| tests/test_content_safety_integration.py | Exercises the shipped configuration across LLMRails and IORails and verifies guard request construction. |
| examples/configs/nemotron-3.5-content-safety/config.yml | Configures the Nemotron safety model and enables input and output content-safety rails. |
| examples/configs/nemotron-3.5-content-safety/prompts.yml | Defines role-preserving safety-check prompts using the new parsers. |
| examples/configs/nemotron-3.5-content-safety/README.md | Documents hosted and local setup requirements, including server-side chat-template handling. |

Thanks @tgasser-nv , lgtm. there was quite a bit of overlapping coverage across the helper, parser, and action tests, the action tests also used pre-parsed results, so they weren’t exercising the actual integration. cleaned this up in 33181fd while keeping the meaningful parser, cross-engine, and config wiring coverage.
on a different note: the parser currently accepts the first matching verdict, so conflicting output can fail open:
Response Safety: safe
Response Safety: unsafe
is it possible? do you think we should reject responses with duplicate verdict fields instead of trusting the first match?
This is good idea, I fail-closed for any response which includes duplicate safety ratings for the same field. If the LLM can't match the output contract we can't assume its reasoning internally on safety is also valid. |

Description
This PR adds a parser for the new nemotron-3.5-content-safety model. This model has a different response format to the Llama 3.1 8B content-safety model. The former is a series of text strings with a colon separating key and value, while the latter is a JSON object. The text-strings format can't be parsed as a JSON object, so a new parser is needed.
The formats are:
nemotron-3.5-content-safety
llama-3_1-nemoguard-8b-content-safety
This PR is the first in a stack-of-2. It contains the parser, unit-tests, and an example config to integrate-test against the NVCF-hosted nemotron-3.5-content-safety model. The next PR will include vcrpy cassettes with request-response pairs created against NVCF. It will also validate the behaviour in both LLMRails and IORails.
This PR includes a local integration-test with both LLMRails and IORails using the
nemoguardrails chatapplication to show it works for safe and unsafe user-prompts against a live backend. Note The prompt-templating comes from the model's ownchat_template.jinja, which ships inside the model repository and which the NVCF endpoint applies server-side. A locally served copy behaves the same way as long as the serving stack applies that template -- vLLM and SGLang do -- so onlyparameters.base_urlchanges. It will not work against a server that does not apply the model's chat template. The README includes this guidance along with other notes on how to configure the nemotron-3.5-content-safety model correctly.Related Issue(s)
