Open-source toolkit for adding programmable guardrails to large language model applications.
NeMo Guardrails is an open-source toolkit published by NVIDIA that adds programmable rails to large language model applications, including fact-checking and hallucination-mitigation rails alongside topical and safety controls. The project is distinct from NVIDIA's broader NeMo model-training and customization framework, focusing specifically on runtime guardrail enforcement around LLM inputs and outputs.
Developers integrate NeMo Guardrails as a library that intercepts prompts and model responses to apply configurable rule sets, enabling teams to constrain LLM behavior without retraining the underlying model.
