Policy Details

To maintain focus on allowed topics, Aporia employs a fine-tuned small language model. This model is designed to recognize and enforce adherence to approved topics. It evaluates the content of each prompt or response, comparing it against a predefined list of allowed subjects. If a prompt or response deviates from these topics, it is redirected or modified to fit within the allowed boundaries. This model is regularly updated to include new relevant topics, ensuring the LLM consistently guides conversations towards appropriate and specific subjects.
