SIRF: A Spec-Internalized Risk Foundation Model for Industrial Content Risk Control

Abstract
For industrial content risk control, the real deployment constraint is not average accuracy but how much risk can be auto-handled under high precision and second-level latency. We present SIRF (Spec-Internalized Risk Foundation Model), which internalizes a platform’s complex policies, synthesized label-free via EntiGraph, MAGA rewriting, and account-level CoT, into the weights via continued pretraining, so rules are applied at high precision under an ultra-low-latency, classification-only deployment. A controlled same-source comparison (Qwen3-8B-SFT vs. SIRF-8B-SFT, identical policy injection and classification-only form, differing only in policy-grounded CPT) attributes the gain to internalization: SIRF-8B-SFT reaches 71.3 Black Recall@P95, +15 pp over the baseline, using only about 70M CPT tokens without harming general ability, and among included, logprob-available models under this interface it matches or exceeds far larger systems. SIRF is deployed as a tree-model adjudication layer (+20% more mis-penalized samples recovered) and transfers to a freezing scenario at low cost (~70% relative mis-penalization reduction).
