AWGS Vision v0.1 is an experimental multimodal vision model designed for image safety and content classification. It is fine-tuned from Google's Gemma 4 E2B and trained to analyze images and return structured safety-related predictions.
This is an early experimental release intended for research, experimentation, prototyping, and development of image-processing systems. It has not been validated for production-grade moderation or safety-critical applications.
AWGS Vision v0.1 is an experimental image-text model adapted for image safety classification.
The model receives an image together with an instruction and generates a textual response describing its classification. The intended output can contain safety-related scores and a final classification result.
The model was fine-tuned from Gemma 4 E2B, Google's multimodal model designed to process image and text inputs. Gemma 4 E2B supports image understanding and is designed for efficient deployment across a range of hardware.
AWGS Vision v0.1 is an early research release. Results should be treated as experimental and should not be considered a guarantee of classification accuracy.
The AWGS Vision Family
AWGS Vision is an experimental model series under ArkAiLabs, focused on developing lightweight and practical vision models for image analysis and safety-oriented classification.
The project explores the use of multimodal foundation models for specialized image-processing workloads.
Future versions may improve classification accuracy, output consistency, inference efficiency, and deployment capabilities.

Version
v0.1
Gemma 4 E2B is a multimodal model with image, text, and audio capabilities. The E2B model has approximately 2.3B effective parameters and a 128K-token context window.
Capabilities
AWGS Vision v0.1 is designed to:
Analyze images for safety-related content
Classify images into broad safety categories
Produce structured classification responses
Provide confidence-like scores for supported categories
Process image inputs together with natural-language instructions
Serve as a foundation for experimental image moderation systems
The exact output format is not guaranteed in every generation. Users should validate and parse model responses before using them programmatically.
Limitations
AWGS Vision v0.1 is an early experimental model and has significant limitations.
Classification Accuracy
The model achieved 44% accuracy on the project's initial 100-image benchmark.
This benchmark should be considered an initial baseline rather than a comprehensive evaluation.
Output Consistency
The model may produce different JSON structures from the expected format. For example, it may return fields such as label, is_nsfw, or nsfw_content instead of the expected AWGS output structure.
Applications should therefore validate model output before consuming it.
Dataset Limitations
The benchmark dataset is relatively small and may contain ambiguous or incorrectly labeled examples. The benchmark should not be interpreted as a representative measurement of real-world performance.
Generalization
Performance may vary significantly depending on image type, visual characteristics, image quality, and the instruction provided to the model.
Production Readiness
AWGS Vision v0.1 is not production-ready.
It should not be used as the sole decision-making component in automated safety-critical systems.
Intended Use
Supported Use Cases
AI and multimodal research
Image classification experiments
Prototype moderation systems
Educational experimentation
Benchmarking vision-language models
Development of image-processing pipelines
Research into lightweight vision inference
Out-of-Scope Use Cases
Fully autonomous content moderation without additional safeguards
Safety-critical decision-making
High-stakes classification
Systems requiring guaranteed classification accuracy
Applications where incorrect classifications could cause significant harm
Human review and additional validation are recommended for important decisions.
Architecture & Training
AWGS Vision v0.1 is based on Google Gemma 4 E2B, a multimodal vision-language model. Gemma 4 E2B uses a lightweight architecture designed for efficient multimodal processing.

Output
Structured Text / JSON-like response
AWGS Vision v0.1 was fine-tuned from the Unsloth-provided
unsloth/gemma-4-E2B model, which is based on Google's
google/gemma-4-E2B.
Unsloth was used for the fine-tuning workflow and optimization of the
training process.
The resulting model was further trained on a custom multimodal
instruction dataset prepared for AWGS Vision.
The numerical values represent model-generated confidence-like scores and should not be interpreted as calibrated probabilities.
The model may occasionally generate alternative JSON structures or incomplete responses.
Evaluation
AWGS Vision v0.1 was evaluated using an initial benchmark containing 100 images.

Release
v0.1
The benchmark was designed as an initial baseline for future AWGS Vision releases.
Future versions will be evaluated using the same benchmark methodology where appropriate to measure improvements between releases.
Important
The 44% result should not be interpreted as a universal real-world accuracy rate. The benchmark is small and experimental, and its dataset composition and labeling quality may affect the result.
Risks & Considerations
Developers integrating AWGS Vision should account for:
False positives
False negatives
Inconsistent output formatting
Dataset bias
Ambiguous image classifications
Confidence-score calibration limitations
Distribution shifts between benchmark and real-world images
The model should not be the sole moderation or safety mechanism in an application.
A robust deployment should combine model predictions with additional validation, policy rules, and human review where appropriate.
Future Work
Planned improvements for future AWGS Vision releases include:
Improved classification accuracy
Larger and more diverse training dataset
Improved output-format consistency
Better confidence calibration
Improved handling of ambiguous images
Expanded evaluation benchmark
Reduced inference latency
Optimized image preprocessing
Efficient low-resource inference
AWGS inference/runtime library
Image hashing and result caching
Improved CPU inference support
Additional model formats and quantizations
