tropa-mini — open-weights AI Text Detector by wasitaigenerated

Detect AI-generated text from ChatGPT, GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Llama and other LLMs — free, open weights, runs on CPU.

tropa-mini is the open-weights AI detector by wasitaigenerated.com, the open sibling of the tropa-3 model behind the hosted API. In our benchmark of every notable open-source AI text detector on public datasets, tropa-mini comes out as the strongest open-weights AI text detector available — best ROC-AUC and the highest detection rate at a fixed 0.5 % false-positive rate across raw, humanized and frontier-model text (full results below).

• ✅ 93 % of raw AI text caught at a 0.5 % false-positive rate (next-best open model: 84 %)
• ✅ The only open detector with a humanizer class — it flags AI text laundered through paraphrasing / "humanizer" tools
• ✅ DeBERTa-v3-large backbone, ~1.7 GB, CPU-friendly — no GPU required
• ✅ Apache-2.0, commercial use allowed

Need higher accuracy? Use tropa-3, our hosted model

In our September 2026 benchmark, tropa-3 detected 95.6 % of raw AI text (GPTZero 61.6 %, Pangram 44.0 %, ZeroGPT 21.4 %) and 57.7 % of humanized text, while flagging only 0.1 % of 239,490 held-out human texts. It runs behind the AI Detector API: one POST request, 1,000 free credits to start.

Unlike most detectors it has a 4-class head — it doesn't just say AI or human:

ai_score = 1 − P(human) is the headline number in [0, 1].

How to detect AI-generated text in Python

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from transformers import AutoConfig, AutoModel, AutoTokenizer, PreTrainedModel

class AIDetectionModel(PreTrainedModel):
    config_class = AutoConfig
    _tied_weights_keys = []          # transformers>=5 compatibility

    @property
    def all_tied_weights_keys(self):
        return {}

    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.model = AutoModel.from_config(config)
        n = getattr(config, "detector_num_labels", 1)
        self.classifier = nn.Linear(config.hidden_size, n)

    def forward(self, input_ids, attention_mask=None, **kwargs):
        out = self.model(input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask)
        h = out[0]                                    # (B, T, H)
        mask = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).float()
        pooled = (h * mask).sum(1) / mask.sum(1)      # mean pooling over real tokens
        return self.classifier(pooled)

repo = "wasitaigeneratedcom/tropa-mini-ai-text-detector"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo)
model = AIDetectionModel.from_pretrained(repo).eval()

text = "Your text here..."
enc = tok(text, truncation=True, max_length=768, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.inference_mode():
    probs = torch.softmax(model(**enc), dim=-1)[0]

labels = ["human", "ai", "ai_edited", "humanized"]
ai_score = 1.0 - probs[0].item()
print({l: round(p.item(), 4) for l, p in zip(labels, probs)}, "| ai_score:", round(ai_score, 4))

For long documents, split into ≤768-token chunks (sentence-aligned) and average chunk scores weighted by length. A practical decision threshold at a 0.5 % false-positive operating point is ai_score ≥ 0.976 (see serving_head.json).

Prefer an API call over self-hosting? The wasitaigenerated AI Detector API runs tropa-3, the successor to tropa-2, which already beat tropa-mini by a wide margin (98.5 % vs 93.2 % on raw AI, 76 % vs 42 % on humanized text — comparison below). It is one POST request and comes with 1,000 free credits.

Our open detector benchmarks are on GitHub: text, images and video.

Benchmarks (vs. other open-weights AI detectors)

All numbers are measured on public datasets, so anyone can reproduce them:

• Jabarian & Imas (2025) — 1,930 human passages, 7,683 raw generations (GPT-4.1, Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 2.0 Flash), 7,867 StealthGPT-humanized versions
• Liang et al. (2023) — TOEFL essays by non-native writers
• A 1,060-text frontier set: GPT-5.x, Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3.x, Grok, DeepSeek V4, …
• 5,000 pre-LLM (2018) FineWeb web pages as a neutral human pool

Every model gets its decision threshold set to the same matched 0.5 % false-positive rate on the same 6,930 human documents. Recall is then measured per group — a fair, like-for-like comparison.

* MAGE cannot reach a 0.5 % FPR at any threshold (it flags 26 % of ordinary human web text with score > 0.9999).

One honest caveat: on the Liang non-native TOEFL essays tropa-mini flags 15.6 % at that operating point — more than desklib's 3.3 % (which, however, detects almost nothing at the same FPR). Use conservative thresholds for learner writing.

tropa-mini vs. tropa-2 (previous hosted model)

The hosted detector at wasitaigenerated.com has run tropa-3 since September 2026; tropa-mini is its fast, CPU-friendly sibling. The numbers below are for its predecessor tropa-2 (the tropa-3 figures at the top come from a different benchmark), measured through the public API endpoint (verdict ≥ 90) on the same public datasets.

FAQ

Which AI models does it detect? Text from ChatGPT (GPT-4, GPT-4o, GPT-5.x), Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Grok and other large language models. Detection is strongest for the model generations it was trained against (see the frontier column above); the hosted tropa-2 API is retrained continuously as new models appear.

Can it detect humanized or paraphrased AI text? Yes — tropa-mini is the only open-weights detector with a dedicated humanized class, and it catches 10× more humanizer output than the next-best open model (41.6 % vs 4.0 % at the same false-positive rate). tropa-2, the previous hosted model, caught 76–90 %.

How accurate is it on human writing? At the recommended threshold it falsely flags about 1 in 200 human documents (0.5 % FPR), measured on 6,930 human texts. The hosted API operates at ~1 in 1,000 and below.

Does it work for essays and academic writing? Yes, with a caution: like all AI detectors it flags short, simple learner prose (e.g. non-native TOEFL essays) more often than average. For essay and thesis checking, treat scores as evidence and keep a human in the loop.

Is it free? Yes — Apache-2.0, free for commercial use. The hosted API has a free tier (1,000 credits).

What languages are supported? tropa-mini is English-first. The hosted detector supports multiple languages with a measured false-positive rate of 0.00–0.04 % across German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch.

Intended use

• Optimized for English prose of 50+ words.
• Open-weights releases are snapshots; the hosted API is retrained continuously as new generator models appear.
• A score is evidence, not proof. Don't use it as the sole basis for accusations or academic-integrity decisions — combine it with process evidence and human judgment, as with every AI detector.
