# Research

> FlowX.AI public research: the border open-source guardrails library, open models on Hugging Face, and the research paper series.

FlowX.AI publishes research as open tools, open models, and papers. This page indexes what is public; everything below links to its original home.

<Info>
  These are research artifacts and open-source tools published by FlowX.AI, not shipped platform features. For platform capabilities, see [AI in FlowX](./ai-in-flowx).

## border: open-source LLM guardrails

[border](https://border.flowx.ai) is an open-source Python library (Apache-2.0) that checks LLM inputs and outputs and signs an evidence record for each check. Evidence records hold hashes, the resolved policy hash, and the model revision that produced each finding, never the user's text. It runs on CPU with the network interface down, and every classifier is scored in 26 languages.

```bash theme={"dark"}
pip install flowx-border
```

## Open models on Hugging Face

The [flowxai organization on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/flowxai) publishes 50 Apache-2.0 models focused on on-device AI for regulated industries: PII detection (`piiguard`, `cee-pii`), scam and fraud classification (`scam-guard`), content moderation, and regulated-advice detection, alongside two public benchmarks (`cee-pii-bench`, `scamguardbench`).
