        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("PolicyShiftGuard/PolicyShiftGuard-7B")

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)

	# PolicyShiftGuard-7B

	[📜 Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.05910) \| [💻 Code](https://github.com/ssmisya/PolicyShiftGuard) \| [🏠 Project Page](https://policyshiftguard.github.io/)

	PolicyShiftGuard-7B is a policy-conditioned image guardrail model based on Qwen2.5-VL-7B. It is trained to follow a supplied policy bundle and produce structured image-safety decisions under changing application policies.

	## Expected Output Format

	```text
	true \| <two-digit risk category id> \| <short reason>
	false \| <short reason>
	```

	## Training Data

	This checkpoint is trained with the PolicyShiftBench public data release:

	- Dataset: `PolicyShiftBench/PolicyShiftBench`
	- Main evaluation splits: ID/adaptive branch and OOD/shift branch
	- Training stages: randomized policy SFT followed by boundary-pair policy adaptation

	## Intended Use

	Use this model for research on policy-conditioned multimodal safety, adaptive image moderation, and robustness under policy shifts. The model should be evaluated with explicit policy bundles rather than as a fixed universal safety classifier.

	## Limitations

	This is a research checkpoint. It may fail under policies, languages, visual domains, or deployment settings not represented in the benchmark. Outputs should not be treated as legal or compliance advice.

	## Citation

	If you use this model, please cite the paper:
