PROMPTPurify

Tiny prompt-injection firewall for LLM chat apps. 14 MB.

What it does

Every OSS prompt injection guard needs a GPU, a sidecar, or 7 GB of disk. PromptPurify is 14 MB, CPU-only, runs inside your Node process. Zero network calls. $0/call. Two layers: deterministic structural firewall + 14 MB ML classifier. Benchmarked against Meta Prompt-Guard, ProtectAI, deepset same inputs, same scoring code, reproducible on your laptop. Battle-tested by 2,458 red teamers before release. MIT. Drop in with 3 lines of code.

    ArchGW – An open-source intelligent proxy server for prompts2025 · github.com · ▲39

    Hi HN! This is Salman, Adil, Shuguang and Co working on ArchGW[1] - an open-source lightweight proxy server for prompts - written in Rust and built on top of Envoy[2]. Arch moves the critical but pesky handling and processing of prompts: task understanding, prompt routing, safety, and observability - outside business logic. Its an edge and egress proxy for agentic apps. We've talked to 100s of developers at places like Twilio, GE Healthcare, Redhat, Square, etc and there was a consistent theme in building AI apps: to move past a nascent demo they are left to their own devices in building out…

    Open-Source Gateway to Stop Tool-Abusing Prompt InjectionsOct 2025 · archestra.ai · ▲9

    Hi HN, Matvey, Ildar, Joey, and Dominik here. If you're building LLM agents that use tools, you're probably worried about prompt injection attacks that can hijack those tools. We were too, and found that solutions like prompt-based filtering or secondary "guard" LLMs can be unreliable. Our thesis is that agent security should be handled at the network level between the agent and the LLM, just like a traditional web application firewall. So we built Archestra Platform: an open-source gateway that acts as a secure proxy for your AI agents. It's designed to be a deterministic firewall against…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
