Choose ALERT if…
- License: ALERT is Other, llm-attacks is MIT.
- Tags unique to ALERT: ai, artificial-intelligence, benchmark, bias-detection.
- When evaluating safety metrics of large language models through red-teaming approaches
When NOT to use ALERT
- If your evaluation does not require bias detection or safety assessment under adversarial conditions
- In scenarios where a broader range of model aspects beyond safety is needed, as ALERT focuses primarily on safety benchmarks
Choose llm-attacks if…
- License: llm-attacks is MIT, ALERT is Other.
- Tags unique to llm-attacks: alignment-testing, attacks, fastchat-dependency, language-models.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- When you need to test the robustness of aligned language models specifically using attacks designed for these systems,
When NOT to use llm-attacks
- Do not use if you are evaluating generic or unaligned language models without a need for alignment-specific attack testing,
- Avoid when FastChat is not used in your project as llm-attacks explicitly depends on it.
