How GuardionAI covers this
GuardionAI builds its own guard models and publishes the benchmarks — the numbers below come from the public guard models guide. Independent alternatives are listed right after this section.
Guard models are natively trained on 8 languages (English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic) extended to 100+ languages, and evaluated across 1,000+ languages — including historical and dead languages — with graceful post-training decay.
