Logosofia no Dia a Dia · Apr 4, 2026 · 23m

We move past vague ethics to the literal plumbing of AI safety. This episode explores the specific libraries, proxy layers, and architectural decisions that act as the new enterprise firewall for LLMs. We dissect the tension between latency and security, comparing "sandwich" guardrails with token-level steering, and break down the open-source versus commercial landscapes—from NVIDIA NeMo and Guardrails AI to Lakera's threat intelligence.
