Forge uses guardrails to push 8B model accuracy from 53% to 99% on agentic tasks

Forge is an open-source framework that wraps smaller language models with guardrails to dramatically improve their reliability on agent-based tasks. By constraining model outputs and steering behavior, it gets an 8B parameter model to perform at 99% accuracy—a meaningful jump that could make smaller models viable for production agentic work without scaling up to larger, costlier alternatives.
