By Mistral Back to Blog 5 min read Share this post Copy url to clipboard Copied Thinking Summary Shieldstral introduces a 3B open-weights multimodal safety classifier that outperforms models up to 7x its size by framing content moderation as a policy-adaptive question-answering task. Unlike traditional guardrail models, it accepts plain-language policies at inference time, unifying text and image safety evaluation without retraining. Released under Apache 2.0, it delivers calibrated safety scores across diverse benchmarks while running efficiently on a single 16GB NVIDIA GPU. A 3B open-weights, policy-adaptive multimodal safety classifier that matches models up to 7x its size on text safety and sets a new state of the art on multimodal moderation. “Does this content promote violence against a protected group? Is this image safe to show to a minor? Did the assistant refuse the request?” Every product that ships a model needs to answer questions like these — but the right answer depends on the product, the audience, and the moment. …
For robotaxis and other autonomous vehicles (AVs), the hardest problems aren’t the everyday scenarios. They’re the rare, complex situations that are difficult to anticipate and train for. Handling these long‑tail events takes more than just object detection and motion prediction. AVs must understand the situation, reason about cause and effect, choose the right action and turn that decision into a safe, comfortable path — all in real time and in a way developers can inspect, validate and trust. NVIDIA Alpamayo 2 Super, available now for commercial use, is part of the Alpamayo family, the most-adopted open reasoning models for autonomous driving on Hugging Face, supporting a wide range of AV-relevant capabilities within a single foundation model. Built on NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Super Reasoner and post‑trained with reinforcement learning, the model advances the AV ecosystem on two fronts: open commercial licensing and leading multitask capabilities for autonomous driving. Alpamayo 2 Super is part of NVIDIA’s growing collection of open models, datasets and tools for autonomous driving …
