Some experts are impressed with the model’s potential, while others are skeptical about its flexibility and potential cultural imperialism.
I would be curious if this can do moderation with an arbitrary ruleset, or if it’s just ‘that one moderation style’ we already know from current big tech platforms.
Maybe something like ‘Is this guy a corporate fraud that is going to waste my time with performative nonsense?’ That would be the true test for a moderation model and I would be immensely impressed if it could manage to pull that off.
Comparison to Other Models
The model is being compared to other models such as OpenAI’s Omni Moderation model.
Conclusion
Mistral’s Shieldstral model has the potential to be a useful tool for multimodal moderation, but its flexibility and potential cultural imperialism are concerns that need to be addressed.
