director-ai-lite 3.17.0

Standalone three-line LLM streaming-halt guard — model-free, zero dependencies

Director-AI Lite

director-ai-lite is a standalone, dependency-free LLM streaming-halt guard: it stops a token stream before a hallucination finishes generating. It installs with zero heavy dependencies (standard library only) and does not require the full director-ai package.

pip install director-ai-lite

from director_ai_lite import guard

result = guard(
    token_stream,
    facts={"capital": "Paris is the capital of France."},
    prompt="What is the capital of France?",
)

print(result.output)       # surviving text (halted tokens removed)
print(result.halted)       # True if the stream was stopped
print(result.halt_reason)  # why it was stopped

How it works

The default path is model-free: each accumulated prefix is scored by a grounding heuristic (content-word overlap against the supplied facts) and the same calibrated coherence combination the full package uses in its no-model path. The stream hard-halts on the first token whose coherence drops below threshold (default 0.5). With no facts, scoring stays neutral and nothing is halted.

Because the grounding heuristic and the coherence calibration match the full package, you can upgrade to model-backed (NLI/RAG) scoring without changing the call site.

Upgrade to model-backed scoring

pip install "director-ai-lite[full]"

Then pass the full package's scorer to StreamGuard:

from director_ai_lite import StreamGuard

guard = StreamGuard(facts=..., scorer=my_nli_scorer)  # any review(prompt, text) scorer

Tiers

Director-Lite is the free, standalone entry point. The wider product ladder:
