arXiv:2606.02041v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models increasingly stream long, reasoning-intensive responses in real time, making when to moderate as critical as whether to moderate. Existing guardrails fall into two unsatisfactory extremes: response-level methods delay intervention until the full output is generated, whereas token-level methods act on incomplete semantics, often producing unstable decisions and excessive guard invocations. To address this challenge, we propose SentGuard, a sentence-level streaming guardrail that operates in parallel with generation. A lightwe
As large language models become more ubiquitous and are deployed in real-time, the need for effective and efficient moderation directly within the generation process becomes paramount.
This development addresses a critical limitation in current LLM deployment, improving output stability and safety, which is essential for broader enterprise and sensitive application adoption.
The ability to moderate LLM output at a sentence level rather than at a token or full-response level allows for more nuanced, timely, and stable control over AI-generated content across various applications.
