Detoxify is a open source model used to identify prompts as toxic

It contains 3 different models that vary in transformer type and data it was trained on

Model name	Transformer type	Data from
original	bert-base-uncased	Toxic Comment Classification Challenge
unbiased	roberta-base	Unintended Bias in Toxicity Classification
multilingual	xlm-roberta-base	Multilingual Toxic Comment Classification

Filtering quality

Detoxify was tested on 4 different types of inputs

• Not obviously toxic
• Not obviously non-toxic
• Obviously toxic
• Obviously non-toxic

Model name	Not obviously toxic	Not obviously non-toxic	Obviously toxic	Obviously non-toxic
original	failed at all, easily accepted racist, sexist overally toxic prompts that were well formulated	Very sensitive on swear words, failed to reckognize context	good performance	good performance
unbiased	Managed to find some hidden toxicity but not on all sentences	Very sensitive explicit language but shown ability to recognize context	Did well but failed to reckognize some gender stereotype mockery	good performance
multilingual	Managed to find some hidden toxicity but not on all sentences	Very sensitive explicit language but shown ability to recognize context	Did well but failed to reckognize some gender stereotype mockery	good performance

Subjectivly 'unbiased' looks like the best performing model.

I don't think it would do well as a security layer in a live version of open assistant unless we do some finetuning first, because it can be fooled to pass toxicity if it's presented in formal language.

With some caution it can be used to filter prompts but I would suggest also using someone for verification of messages that are marked as toxic but still below 90% confidence
