Granite Guardian 3.2 5B is IBM Granite's safety-focused watchdog — built not to answer questions, but to evaluate them. It specializes in detecting risks, harmful content, and policy violations in both prompts and responses, acting like a diligent compliance reviewer rather than a generalist assistant. Its compact 5B size makes it practical to deploy inline as a moderation layer, though its narrow focus means it's not suited for general-purpose tasks.
