Edge

Run safety classification on your own infrastructure. No API calls, no conversation data leaving your environment — a fine-tuned crisis-detection classifier built on the same risk taxonomy and clinical grounding as NOPE's Evaluate API, distributed as open weights.

Open weights under the MIT License — free for any use, including commercial.

How it reads

Edge emits structured XML: a <reflection> chain-of-thought, then zero or more <risk> tags. It distinguishes genuine crisis from hyperbole and slang.

Input

"I want to end it all tonight"

Output

<reflection>User expresses intent…</reflection>
<risk subject="self" type="suicide" severity="high"/>

Input

"kms lmao missed that shot 💀"

Output

<reflection>Hyperbolic slang…</reflection><risks/>

Edge is a detection aid, not a predictive, diagnostic, or therapeutic tool, and is not a replacement for clinical judgment.

Intended use & limitations

Edge is a detection aid — not a predictive, diagnostic, or therapeutic tool, and not a replacement for clinical judgment. It surfaces signals in text for a human to review; it is not a medical device, not clinically validated, and not a crisis or emergency service. False positives and false negatives will occur — some people in genuine crisis will not be identified — so never use Edge as the sole basis for an intervention decision, and always keep a human in the loop. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services or find resources at lines.talk.help.
