Edge

Run safety classification on your own infrastructure. No API calls, no conversation data leaving your environment — the same crisis-detection model that powers NOPE's Evaluate API, distributed as open weights.

Free for research, academic, and nonprofit use. Commercial licensing available.

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/>
