Choose llm-attacks if…
- llm-attacks is primarily Python; trap is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to llm-attacks: alignment-testing, attacks, fastchat-dependency, language-models.
- 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.
Choose trap if…
- trap is primarily Jupyter Notebook; llm-attacks is Python.
- Requirements: Requires installation and use of HuggingFace transformers for downloading specific models.; Configuration files need to be adapted with the correct paths for model configurations as specified in `detect_llm/configs`..
- Tags unique to trap: acl2024, adversarial-attacks, fingerprinting, large language models.
- When you need to perform black-box identification of large language models using adversarial prompt techniques in research settings.
When NOT to use trap
- If your objective is not specifically related to identifying or evaluating LLMs through adversarial attacks, and you require a more generalized framework for LLM evaluation or observability.
- When working with models that cannot be subjected to black-box testing due to their deployment environment or company policies.
