Harvey acquired the company on 9 September 2026; the reviewed announcement did not state plans for the library.\n\n**NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails.** Apache-2.0, 7,200 stars and nine releases between 9 October 2025 and 16 September 2026. Usage telemetry and a heartbeat every 10 minutes to NVIDIA by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Guardrails AI\n\n1. Pin guardrails-ai==0.11.0 and each guardrails-ai-\u003cvalidator\u003e package, install only from PyPI, and never install 0.10.1\n2. Import validators from guardrails_ai.\u003cname\u003e, not guardrails.hub, and don't run guardrails hub install\n3. Pass use_local=True to detect_pii, toxic_language and the other model-backed validators, or set validation_endpoint to a server you run\n4. Set enable_metrics to false in ~/.guardrailsrc if you don't want usage metrics sent\n5. Avoid building on reask and RAIL. The open 1.0.0 issues plan to remove both\n\n### NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails\n\n1. Set NEMO_GUARDRAILS_NO_USAGE_STATS=1 before import unless you want deployment metadata sent to NVIDIA every 10 minutes\n2. Use IORails for plain input and output checks. LLMRails and Colang are for dialogue flows a tool-calling agent rarely needs\n3. Pin nemoguardrails==0.24.1. 0.24.0 changed message passing to messages= and removed inline config from /v1/checks\n4. Call /v1/checks with a config_id loaded on the server and branch on the RailOutcome\n5. Put the server behind your own gateway. It has no auth or rate limiting\n\n## Other comparisons with Guardrails AI or NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails\n\n- [Amazon Bedrock Guardrails vs Guardrails AI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-bedrock-guardrails-vs-guardrails-ai.md)\n- [Amazon Bedrock Guardrails vs NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-bedrock-guardrails-vs-nemo-guardrails.md)\n- [Azure AI Content Safety (Prompt Shields) vs Guardrails AI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-ai-content-safety-vs-guardrails-ai.md)\n- [Azure AI Content Safety (Prompt Shields) vs NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-ai-content-safety-vs-nemo-guardrails.md)\n- [Google Cloud Model Armor vs Guardrails AI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-model-armor-vs-guardrails-ai.md)\n- [Google Cloud Model Armor vs NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-model-armor-vs-nemo-guardrails.md)\n- [Guardrails AI vs Lakera Guard (Check Point AI Guardrails)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guardrails-ai-vs-lakera-guard.md)\n- [Lakera Guard (Check Point AI Guardrails) vs NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lakera-guard-vs-nemo-guardrails.md)\n- [Guardrails AI vs Mistral Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guardrails-ai-vs-mistral-moderation.md)\n- [Guardrails AI vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guardrails-ai-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n- [Mistral Moderation API vs NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-moderation-vs-nemo-guardrails.md)\n- [NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemo-guardrails-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n",
