Abstract

Production LLMs must handle inputs that attempt to override system instructions, bypass safety policies or elicit harmful responses. A common mitigation is a separate guardrail model. Existing reports, however, provide little evidence on Russian prompt injection or Russian surface obfuscation. We present HiveTraceGuard-Pro, a 0.6B generative guardrail LoRA-tuned from Qwen3-0.6B. It is trained on Russian and English and uses one binary scoring rule (safe/unsafe) for the final target turn. Its training corpus pairs harmful examples, where a counterpart exists, with benign examples from the same domain and applies eight obfuscation transforms to both labels. In one harness, we compare HiveTraceGuard-Pro with thirty-four other guards on nineteen benchmark groups, sixteen of which are public. Its aggregate key is 0.7432, behind 0.7641 and 0.7552 for the two higher-scoring guards. Over the sixteen public groups alone, its key is 0.7153 and four of the thirty-four other suite guards score higher. In a fifteen-model comparison, HiveTraceGuard-Pro has the highest clean Russian robustness combined-F1 (0.88) and Russian prompt-injection recall (0.999). Both results use Russian sets assembled by our team, and at least 27.1% of the prompt-injection set overlaps the training corpus. Its 14.3 ms median latency is the lowest among those fifteen models in that run. Across the suite, FPR is 0.268 and FNR is 0.156. All reported response results use a legacy standalone-reply serialization rather than the natural assistant-role path of the shipped chat template. We release the merged weights on Hugging Face under Apache-2.0. The corpus, evaluation sets and evaluation code remain internal.
