New Python library velox-guardrails adds LLM safety features

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new Python library called velox-guardrails has been released to help developers implement basic safety and reliability features for their LLM applications. The library, which is MIT licensed and requires Python 3.10+, offers functionalities such as prompt injection detection, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) masking, daily budget tracking for API calls, a circuit breaker pattern to handle service failures, and a tool to repair incomplete JSON outputs from LLMs. These features are designed to be lightweight and work with any LLM provider without making direct LLM calls themselves. AI

IMPACT Provides developers with readily available tools to enhance the robustness and safety of LLM integrations.

RANK_REASON Release of a new, lightweight Python library for implementing safety features around LLM calls.

    Small guardrails for LLM calls in plain Python: injection check, PII masking, spend cap, circuit breaker, JSON repair

    <p>LLM apps often start as a call to a provider with not much around it. Then something small goes wrong. A user pastes "ignore all previous instructions". A phone number ends up in a log. A retry loop runs all night. The model returns JSON that was cut off by <code>max_tokens</c…
