Baseten and Goodfire AI announced Project Beacon, a partnership to bring proactive, inline safety controls to open model inference. The system reads a model's internal activations during generation to detect unsafe events as they happen and act before output reaches a user or tool. Baseten plans to release safety capabilities integrated with its inference platform over the next several months, starting with selected models and monitored behaviors.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.baseten.co/blog/safe-open-models-baseten-goodfire:

> By reading a model's internal activations during generation, you can define proactive policies that detect an unsafe event as it's happening and act on it before the output reaches a user or a tool.
