The user wants me to classify an image and provide a specific output format.
The image shows a person on a high-rise structure, likely a crane or a tower under construction, with a cityscape below.
I need to output three lines:
1.  **DESCRIPTION:** A single sentence describing the image.
2.  **EXPLANATION:** One or two sentences explaining the category codes (C1-C6) and why.
3.  **GUARDRAIL:** A single-line JSON object with specific boolean keys.

Step 1: Description
The image shows a person in a black hoodie and camouflage pants standing on a red steel structure, likely a crane or a high-rise construction site, with a cityscape visible in the foggy background.
Step 2: Explanation
The image depicts a worker on a high structure, which falls under "C5 (Illegal/Regulated Activities)" as it shows construction or maintenance work. It does not show sexual content, harassment, threats, misinformation, or hate symbols.
Step 3: Guardrail
I need to set the boolean keys to true or false.
C1 (Sexual Content): False.
C2 (Harassment & Bullying): False.
C3 (Threats, Violence & Harm): False.
C4 (False & Deceptive Information): False.
C5 (Illegal/Regulated Activities): True (Construction work).
C6 (Hateful Content & Extremism): False.
Let's format the output.
Line 1: DESCRIPTION: A person in a black hoodie and camouflage pants stands on a red steel structure, likely a crane or high-rise construction site, with a cityscape visible in the foggy background.
Line 2: EXPLANATION: The image depicts a worker on a high structure, which falls under "C5 (Illegal/Regulated Activities)" as it shows construction or maintenance work.
Line 3: GUARDRAIL: {"C1(Sexual Content)": false, "C2(Harassment & Bullying)": false, "C3(Threats, Violence & Harm)": false, "C4(False & Deceptive Information)": false, "C5(Illegal/Regulated Activities)": true, "C6(Hateful Content & Extremism)": false}
Double check constraints:
Exactly three lines.
No markdown formatting outside the three lines.
JSON keys in exact order.
Boolean values are strictly true/false.
Looks good.

VideoGuard-Qwen3.5-9B-Safety-RL-Uncensored

VideoGuard-Qwen3.5-9B-Safety-RL-Uncensored is a multimodal safety classifier built on top of Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B. The model was trained on a mixture of approximately 10,000 video safety and scene-reasoning samples to analyze video content and classify potentially unsafe content across predefined safety categories. The model is designed to generate a structured DESCRIPTION, EXPLANATION, and GUARDRAIL output, making it suitable for video content filtering, safety evaluation, and multimodal guardrail research.

This model is an experimental release and may generate unexpected classifications or reasoning artifacts in certain scenarios. Safety classifications should be treated as model predictions rather than definitive judgments.

Key Highlights

Qwen 3.5 Multimodal Backbone: Built on top of Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B.
Video Safety Classification: Designed to analyze video content and identify potentially unsafe or sensitive material.
10K Training Samples: Trained using a mixture of approximately 10,000 video safety and scene-reasoning samples.
Structured Guardrail Output: Produces a description, explanation, and structured C1–C6 safety classification.
Multimodal Reasoning: Uses visual and textual information to analyze video scenes and determine applicable safety categories.
Safety Evaluation: Designed for content filtering, safety evaluation, red teaming, and multimodal guardrail research.

Safety Categories

The model classifies content across six predefined categories:

Category	Description
C1 — Sexual Content	Sexual or sexually suggestive content.
C2 — Harassment & Bullying	Harassment, bullying, intimidation, or abusive behavior.
C3 — Threats, Violence & Harm	Threats, violence, physical harm, or dangerous violent activity.
C4 — False & Deceptive Information	Potentially false, deceptive, or misleading information.
C5 — Illegal/Regulated Activities	Illegal activities or regulated content.
C6 — Hateful Content & Extremism	Hateful, extremist, or discriminatory content.

Output Format

The model is trained to produce three primary components:

DESCRIPTION: <summary of the video content>

EXPLANATION: <reasoning explaining the classification>

GUARDRAIL: {
  "C1(Sexual Content)": false,
  "C2(Harassment & Bullying)": false,
  "C3(Threats, Violence & Harm)": false,
  "C4(False & Deceptive Information)": false,
  "C5(Illegal/Regulated Activities)": false,
  "C6(Hateful Content & Extremism)": false
}

Example — Safe Content

DESCRIPTION: A hand holds four small, leaf-decorated candies in green, orange, and teal colors against a wooden table background.

EXPLANATION: The content is ordinary and safe, depicting a simple everyday scene of someone holding candy. It does not contain any of the specific category codes (C1-C6) as defined in the prompt.

GUARDRAIL: {
  "C1(Sexual Content)": false,
  "C2(Harassment & Bullying)": false,
  "C3(Threats, Violence & Harm)": false,
  "C4(False & Deceptive Information)": false,
  "C5(Illegal/Regulated Activities)": false,
  "C6(Hateful Content & Extremism)": false
}

Example — Sexual Content Classification

DESCRIPTION: A woman with blonde hair tied in a ponytail poses against a plain white wall, wearing a light blue blazer and trousers with an open front that exposes her midsection.

EXPLANATION: This content is classified under C1 based on the visual presentation described in the input.

GUARDRAIL: {
  "C1(Sexual Content)": true,
  "C2(Harassment & Bullying)": false,
  "C3(Threats, Violence & Harm)": false,
  "C4(False & Deceptive Information)": false,
  "C5(Illegal/Regulated Activities)": false,
  "C6(Hateful Content & Extremism)": false
}
