Choose llm-attacks if…
- Tags unique to llm-attacks: alignment-testing, attacks, fastchat-dependency, language-models.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- 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 DeepInception if…
- Pricing: The tool is free under the MIT license. However, using it may incur costs from third-party services like OpenAI API keys for accessing closed-source models.
- Requirements: Requires PyTorch ≥1.10 with GPU support; Environment modification needed to include path configurations for Vicuna, Llama-2, and Falcon.
- Tags unique to DeepInception: deep, gpt, inception, jailbreak.
- When you need to research the effects of specific modifications on the safety and trustworthiness of GPT-3, GPT-4, Vicuna, Llama-2, or Falcon models
When NOT to use DeepInception
- For deployment in production environments where strict adherence to ethical and regulatory guidelines is mandatory, due to the experimental nature of DeepInception
- When there's a need for direct application without exploring modification effects, as DeepInception requires setting up an environment that supports specific models and modifications
