Instructions to use l3cube-pune/IndicGuard with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use l3cube-pune/IndicGuard with PEFT:

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("unsloth/gemma-3-4b-it-unsloth-bnb-4bit")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "l3cube-pune/IndicGuard")

Transformers

How to use l3cube-pune/IndicGuard with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="l3cube-pune/IndicGuard")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("l3cube-pune/IndicGuard", device_map="auto")

				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/l3cube-pune/IndicGuard
