Classifiers are policy enforced by the process serving the model. Input classifiers get applied before it reaches the model so somebody hacking an open-weight model would skip this. Streaming classifiers get polled during decoding; hacke

Constitutional classifiers go a long way to reducing unsafe usage in closed-weight models. And like we saw with Fable, closed models can be revoked and classifiers updated when “jailbreaks” are found. Having the weights gives you the exact

If you’re gonna capitalize the “D” you should also capitalize the “G” (since it’s the first letter of his last name…)
