• summary: Runtime guardrails are essential for reliable large language model (LLM) deployment, yet existing approaches typically rely on independent, external models that introduce additional inference cost, delayed safety signals, and a capacity mismatch with increasingly capable base models. To address these issues, we introduce SingProbe, a lightweight intrinsic runtime guard that directly reuses hidden states produced during LLM inference and operates alongside autoregressive decoding. Within a unified framework, SingProbe continuously predicts query intent, response safety, and hallucination risk a → We present SingProbe, an open intrinsic guardrail framework for generation-time monitoring of LLMs. Intrinsic guardrails reuse hidden states already produced by the base model during autoregressive decoding, rather than relying on an independent model to repeatedly process generated text. While this route has been explored in industrial systems, the community lacks a broadly reusable open stack that combines cross-model guard adaptations, unified training methods, serving integrations, and systematic evaluation resources. SingProbe is designed to provide this missing layer and uses a lightweig
