Qwen3Guard-Stream-0.6B: real-time safety moderation for local AI

Safety
Source:Qwen (Hugging Face)
Qwen3Guard-Stream is a 0.6B moderation model with a Token-level classifier for real-time monitoring during incremental generation. Three severity tiers (safe, controversial, unsafe) and 119 languages: a small, local component to filter outputs without sending them to the cloud.

Anthropic Claude

Inference

Inference API for Anthropic's Claude models (Claude 1 since 2023). Like OpenAI, you pay per token, input and output, with request limits per plan: the frontier path with no servers of your own.

Bespoke Nimble 9B

Models

Bespoke Labs' 9B decision model: it runs entirely locally via Ollama 0.35 and answers typed questions (true/false, numeric scale, multiple choice) through the new systemone API. Built for fast classification in automated pipelines, no cloud.
