Instructions to use Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.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)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

vLLM

How to use Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2 with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2

SGLang

How to use Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2 with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang
# Start the SGLang server:
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path "Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2" \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30000

IF YOU USE COMMUNITY QWEN MODELS DO NOT UPGRADE TO FLM v1.0.2+

DynaGuard-8B-NPU2

FastFlowLM Q4NX conversion of tomg-group-umd/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2 for AMD XDNA NPU inference.

This repository contains a quantized Q4NX port of the model, compiled for the FastFlowLM (FLM) runtime. It is not a GGUF file.

Item	Value
Source model	`tomg-group-umd/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2`
Source GGUF	`DynaGuard-8B.i1-Q4_1.gguf`
Weights	`model.q4nx` (5.57 GB)
Modality	language
FLM version	`1.0.2`
Converted	2026-08-18

Install and run

This repository works with flm-add, a small installer that copies the model into the FastFlowLM user directory and registers the tag. It never modifies the system FastFlowLM install.

pip install flm-add or uv tool install flm-add

uv tool install flm-add
flm-add Atomic-Germ/DynaGuard-8B-NPU2 --family qwen3.5
FLM_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/.config/flm/model_list.json" FLM_XCLBIN_PATH="$HOME/.config/flm" flm run dynaguard:8b
