- 7The New Stack·10/5/2026researchRed Hat bench tests AI guardrails and finds a small classifier nearly matches a 35B model
Red Hat’s AI Safety team compared classifier, LLM-judge, and decision-model approaches for guardrails using the same NeMo Guardrails benchmarks. A roughly 200M-parameter DeBERTa classifier nearly matched Qwen3.6-35B on prompt injection with much lower latency, while Jev and other decision models performed better on content safety.

Alex Porcelli outlines how enterprises can reduce non-determinism and improve accountability in AI-driven decisions by combining DMN decision models with LLMs and agent skills. He also highlights NeMo guardrails as a way to add governance and auditability to agentic architectures while keeping business leaders responsible for decision logic.
