Snapshot facts · download the public dataset · methodology
Provider economics and telemetry published by the Hugging Face Router. These are operational signals, not benchmark results.
BES normalizes admitted public benchmark evidence for measured Index rows. Its legacy score and observables prior do not define the public language rank.
These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
Experimental estimate. This layer predicts from admitted evidence and safe metadata only. It never enters ModelCap Score or rank.

Market Gravity uses OpenRouter’s full-catalogue popularity order. Sparse Vercel top-ten observations appear only when published and do not affect the score.
This model is visible because it is available in the live catalogue, but it has no trustworthy community result yet. ModelCap does not infer a quality score from price, features, or market activity.

Llama Guard 4 12B has no public ModelCap Index position as of 22 September 2026: the snapshot lacks enough matched benchmark evidence, or the identity match is unresolved. Its catalogue facts (price, context, providers) are shown without a rank.
Llama Guard 4 12B is listed at $0.18 per 1M input tokens and $0.18 per 1M output tokens as of 22 September 2026. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $0.45 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.
Llama Guard 4 12B has a published context window of 164K tokens (163,840) and a maximum output of 16K tokens. Individual providers can serve less than the published maximum; the providers table lists each endpoint's own limit.
Gated access (llama4). The weights are hosted behind an access request or acceptance step. Review the publisher's access requirements and license before use or redistribution. The repository is meta-llama/Llama-Guard-4-12B on Hugging Face.
