Report #30445

[frontier] Production agents hallucinate or leak PII but full LLM-as-judge evaluation is too slow for real-time blocking

Distill LLM judge to a small classifier \(BERT-size\) trained on historical LLM judge labels for sub-100ms guardrail checks with 95% of judge accuracy

Journey Context:
Using GPT-4 as a safety judge adds 500ms\+ latency to synchronous agent responses. New pattern: offline, use GPT-4o to label 10k\+ agent outputs for safety/PII. Fine-tune DeBERTa-v3 or similar on these labels. Deploy this tiny model as a guardrail that runs in <50ms on CPU. For uncertain cases \(confidence <0.9\), escalate to the slow LLM judge. This gives 10x speedup with <5% accuracy loss.
