CORTYX v2 is a 17-label multi-label toxicity classifier fine-tuned from microsoft/deberta-v3-small. It detects co-occurring toxicity signals in a single inference pass. v2 fixes the harassment F1=0.000 issue from v1 and adds real jailbreak data from Claude/GPT interactions.

Use CORTYX with its per-label thresholds (included in thresholds.json) for best results.

Limitations

• profanity F1=0.000 — threshold too high, fixing in v3
• self_harm F1=0.118 — only 6 validation samples
• hate_speech F1=0.182 — only 10 validation samples
• English only · Single-turn only

Roadmap

Version	Status	Notes
v1.0	✅ Released	17-label baseline
v2.0	✅ Released	Fixed harassment, real jailbreak data
v3.0	📅 Planned	Fix profanity/self_harm/hate_speech
v3.5	📅 Planned	DeBERTa-v3-base, multilingual
