pi-t5gemma1b-v4.5 – Prompt Injection + Toxicity Classifier

Fine-tuned from google/t5gemma-2-1b-1b for 2-head prompt-injection and toxicity detection.

This model outputs two scores: prompt_injection (index 0) and toxic (index 1). A tiered detection strategy combines both heads to achieve higher recall than a single PI threshold alone.

Usage:
For a single text input, tokenize and split into overlapping chunks of ≤512 tokens (overlap=100, stride=412), run them in a batch, and take the maximum logit across chunks per head before applying sigmoid. Apply the tiered rule to the resulting PI and toxic probabilities.

Tiered Detection Strategy

flag = (pi >= pi_thresh) OR (pi >= pi_lower_bound AND toxic >= toxic_thresh)

Thresholds at 0.1% FPR

Parameter	Value
pi_thresh	0.997
pi_lower_bound	0.50
toxic_thresh	1.00

At 0.1% FPR, the PI head consumes the entire FPR budget — tier rescue does not activate.

customer_test (1.4M)	42.44%	0.072%

Thresholds at 0.5% FPR
