Toxicity Metric

What is Toxicity Metric?

A toxicity metric scores whether language-model output contains offensive, abusive, hateful, or otherwise harmful language so teams can fail builds that ship unsafe replies.

Use calibrated thresholds, multilingual samples, and adversarial phrasings; pair with refusal checks so models neither over-refuse benign queries nor leak toxic content.
