When NOT to use last_layer
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your application does not require ultra-low latency detection and can afford slower, potentially more comprehensive security evaluations
- For environments that prefer a broader range of security features beyond prompt injection detection, as last_layer focuses specifically on this aspect with speed in mind
