## Choose when

### Choose image-hijacks if…

- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; System-specific adjustments might be required, such as setting the `PYTHON_KEYRING_BACKEND=keyring.backends.null.Keyring` environment variable.; Large files like cached models or data are stored in the `data/` directory. Ensure this directory is appropriately configured for storage..
- Tags unique to image-hijacks: adversarial, generative, image manipulation, runtime control.
- When you need to create specific adversarial scenarios where fine-tuned images manipulate generative model outputs during real-time operation.

### Choose Visual-Adversarial-Examples-Jailbreak-Large-Language-Models if…

- Tags unique to Visual-Adversarial-Examples-Jailbreak-Large-Language-Models: large-language-model, visual adversarial.
- Also covers Model Training.
- If your goal is to research the resilience of Large Language Models against visual inputs that could mislead or 'jailbreak' their usual behavior.

## When NOT to use image-hijacks

- Avoid using Image Hijacks for standard machine learning tasks that do not involve runtime manipulation of AI-generated images through adversarial means.
- Do not use this tool if you are working within a constrained or sensitive environment where introducing adversarial elements poses an additional risk to system security.

## When NOT to use Visual-Adversarial-Examples-Jailbreak-Large-Language-Models

- Avoid using this tool if your objective does not involve security testing or research concerning visual-linguistic interactions with large language models.
- If you are looking to enhance general-purpose AI applications without considering adversarial attacks, other frameworks would be more appropriate.
