+### AEGIS Classifier GPU Utilization (Issue #878)
+
+Confirmed full GPU utilization for the AEGIS safety classifier when running on multi-GPU setups. The AEGIS classifier, which uses the LlamaGuard-7b generative model, properly distributes inference across all available GPUs. Added a performance note to the [classifier documentation](/curate-text/process-data/quality-assessment/distributed-classifier) to set expectations for processing times relative to encoder-based classifiers.

+The classifier adds a column with labels: "safe," "O1" through "O13" (each representing specific safety risks), or "unknown."

+<Note>
+The AEGIS classifier relies on the [LlamaGuard-7b](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Aegis-AI-Content-Safety-LlamaGuard-Defensive-1.0) base model, which is a generative LLM. This makes it significantly slower than the other classifiers in NeMo Curator that use encoder-based models (such as DeBERTa). Full GPU utilization is confirmed when running AEGIS on multi-GPU setups, but expect longer processing times compared to non-generative classifiers due to the autoregressive nature of the underlying model.
