LLaMA Guard 3

Llama Guard 3 is a previous Meta safety snapshot, not the live Llama Guard card. There is no separate Llama 4 page on this site.

Compare GPT-5.6 Sol if you wanted a current frontier chat model, and Llama 3.2 Vision if you wanted another leftover Meta snapshot rather than this Guard row.

Key Features

• Previous Guard snapshot: older copy described an 8B multilingual moderator. Confirm the live Guard 4 12B card before you treat Guard 3 as current.
• Not the 2026 safety default: Llama Guard 4 12B is the live card on the public page.
• License is community, not MIT: Confirm the Llama community license. Do not call it fully commercial MIT.
• No invented latency or accuracy: Do not paste leftover millisecond detection or "equal to OpenAI Moderation" unless you re-run a first-party card.

Use Cases

• People with a Guard 3 bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
• People who were about to call it Meta's current safety default.

Limitation: We did not re-download Guard 3 weights or invent a 2026 per-token price.

Pricing

First-party pages on 2026-08-17.

If a leftover blog still calls Guard 3 Meta's latest safety model, treat Guard 4 12B as the correction.
