Director Class AI
Response-level LLM Hallucination Guardrail
Score every claim in your LLM output against your knowledge base, with auditable evidence. NLI + RAG fact-checking, prompt injection detection, and an opt-in streaming contradiction check. Production-tested with 11,838 tests and 12 Rust-accelerated compute functions.

The problem
LLMs hallucinate. Your users trust them anyway. One wrong medical dosage. One fabricated legal citation. One invented financial figure. By the time a human reviewer catches it, the damage is done. Generic output filters catch obvious toxicity but miss subtle factual errors — the kind that sound perfectly plausible. Director-AI scores every claim against your knowledge base, returns an auditable verdict before the output is trusted, and — opt-in — halts streamed claims that contradict your grounding.

Core features
Opt-in streaming contradiction check
Halts streamed claims that contradict your retrieved grounding facts. Response-level scoring is the production gate; the streaming check is opt-in and evidence-bound — not a sole guarantee.
Dual-entropy scoring
NLI contradiction detection (FactCG-DeBERTa, 0.4B params) combined with RAG fact-checking against your knowledge base. Two independent signals, one confidence score.
Injection detection
Intent-grounded, two-stage prompt injection detection: fast regex pre-filter + bidirectional NLI semantic analysis. 25 adversarial attack patterns tested.
Structured output verification
JSON schema validation, numeric consistency checking, reasoning chain verification, temporal freshness scoring. All stdlib-only, zero dependencies.
20 Rust accelerators
Performance-critical functions compiled to native via backfire-kernel (PyO3 FFI). Sanitiser 27×, temporal freshness 21×, confidence scoring 33× faster than pure Python.
EU AI Act compliance
Audit trails, adversarial robustness testing, domain presets (medical/finance/legal/creative), drift detection, and feedback loops. Built for regulated industries.
Integrations
Drop-in guards for every major LLM provider and framework. Zero code changes with the REST proxy.

Quick start
# Install
pip install director-ai[all]
# Score a claim against a source
from director_ai import score
result = score("The Earth is 4.5 billion years old", "The Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago.")
print(result) # GuardResult(score=0.94, passed=True)
# Or run as a REST proxy (zero code changes to your app)

NLI models
FactCG-DeBERTa-v3-Large
Default scorer. 0.4B params, MIT licensed. Best speed/accuracy trade-off. ONNX + TensorRT GPU acceleration paths available.
MiniCheck-Flan-T5-L
0.8B params. Higher accuracy (77.4%) at ~3× latency cost. Best for offline batch verification.
MiniCheck-DeBERTa-L
0.4B params. Alternative DeBERTa backbone with different NLI training data.
Gemma 4 E4B (LLM-as-judge)
LLM-based scoring for complex claims. Highest accuracy but sends data to external provider. Off by default.
Heuristic-only (Lite)
Zero-dependency scorer using word overlap, numeric consistency, and structural checks. <0.5 ms. ~55% accuracy. CPU-only fallback.
Rust backend (backfire)
Native compiled compute via backfire-kernel. 12 accelerated functions. No Python GIL. No CUDA dependency for basic scoring.
Domain presets
Medical
Strict thresholds. Dosage verification. Citation requirements. HIPAA-aware logging.
Finance
Numeric precision. Temporal freshness. Market data validation. FINMA-compatible audit trails.
Legal
Citation verification. Precedent checking. Jurisdiction awareness. Privilege-safe logging.
Creative
Relaxed thresholds. Factual claims still checked but creative expression permitted.
