Shared compatibility

  • Python · embedguard: Python runtime · trap: Python runtime

Choose embedguard if…

  • embedguard is primarily Python; trap is Jupyter Notebook.
  • Requirements: Installation requires Python and pip.; Development mode installation is supported..
  • Tags unique to embedguard: ai-safety, embedding-attacks, llm, llm-security.
  • Also covers Vector Databases.
  • embedguard ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
  • When you need to ensure the integrity of embeddings in RAG systems against adversarial attacks.

When NOT to use embedguard

  • If your focus is on general-purpose AI model evaluation without a specific need for adversarial embedding attack detection.
  • When your application does not involve RAG systems or you are not concerned with embedding security and provenance.

Choose trap if…

  • trap is primarily Jupyter Notebook; embedguard 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.
