HN,
We\u2019ve been working on Patronus Protect, an on-device security layer for AI systems that aims to detect prompt injections and prevent sensitive data from leaving the device.
As part of that work we trained a prompt-injection detection model and decided to release a smaller version of it publicly.
Wolf Defender is a lightweight BERT-style model trained on roughly 5% of our full internal dataset. Despite the reduced training set it already performs competitively with several existing open-source prompt-injection detectors.
One issue we observed with many detectors is that they overfit to obvious trigger phrases like \u201cIgnore previous instructions\u201d. Many real attacks avoid these patterns through obfuscation.
To address this, the training data includes heavy augmentation designed to cover different prompt-injection styles, including:
- unicode and homoglyph perturbations\n- encoded payloads (e.g. base64)\n- HTML and code comment injections\n- structural wrappers like \u201cUser:\u201d or \u201cSystem:\u201d\n- spacing and casing perturbations
The idea is to train the model to recognize structural characteristics of prompt-injection attacks rather than memorizing specific prompts.
Internally we use a larger version of this model as part of Patronus Protect. Wolf Defender is trained on a much smaller subset of the data and released to make prompt-injection research more accessible.

The cataloguing system uses a hierarchical classification, based on one originally developed by Thomas Jefferson, on whose initial donation the Library of Congress is based. This is known as the Library of Congress Classification, and is used to specifically locate a given title or work within the stacks, that is, each item has one and only one location.
There are also subject headings which are more tag-based, though also on a controlled vocabulary. A given work is given a (relatively small number) of subjects to which it's associated. These are not hierarchical, though of course the listing of subject headings itself follows a sequence. Unlike the classification, which assigns a single location to each work, the headings are a search aid to patrons searching for a set of related works within a subject heading, or facilitate branching of a search to possibly related subjects.
Tagging systems, especially ad hoc tags supplied by untrained users, are popular but tend to produce numerous issues over time. Not that formal systems (as with the LoC systems mentioned here) are immune to same. One feature of the LoC systems is that they've evolved processes for managing change over time.
