Shared compatibility

  • Python · BIPIA: Python runtime · llm-self-defense: Python runtime

Choose BIPIA if…

  • License: BIPIA is Other, llm-self-defense is BSD-3-Clause.
  • Requirements: For API-based model experiments (like GPT), no GPU is needed but an account's API key must be set up.; For open-source models of 13B or below, test on a machine with at least 2 V100 GPUs. For larger models over 13B, 4-8 V100 GPUs are required..
  • Tags unique to BIPIA: indirect-prompt-injection-attacks, llm security, microsoft-research, python library.
  • Use BIPIA when you need to evaluate your LLM's resilience specifically to indirect prompt injection attacks, a niche but critical type of adversarial attack.

When NOT to use BIPIA

  • Avoid BIPIA if your primary focus is on general security enhancements without a particular emphasis on indirect prompt injection attacks.
  • Not recommended for users who primarily operate outside a Linux environment, specifically Ubuntu 20.04.6, as it can significantly affect compatibility and performance.

  • Tags unique to llm-self-defense: adversarial prompts, gpt 3.5, harmful content reduction, llama-2.
  • When you need to reduce the success rate of adversarial attacks on text generation.

When NOT to use llm-self-defense

  • If real-time performance is critical and additional latency cannot be tolerated.
  • In scenarios where API access to both GPT 3.5 and Llama models is not feasible.
