Bar chart of harmless security-related prompts blocked by DeBERTa-v3-FT, before and after training on 419 extra harmless examples. Prompts we wrote (600): 48.1% before, 0.1% after. Prompts we did not write, from public datasets (872): 31.4% before, 31.0% after. Headline: Extra training cleared the prompts we wrote. The prompts we didn't write were still blocked.
