## Choose when

### Choose promptfoo if…

- promptfoo is primarily TypeScript; AI-Infra-Guard is Python.
- License: promptfoo is MIT, AI-Infra-Guard is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to promptfoo: ci-cd, evaluation-framework, pentesting, red-teaming.
- For comparing performance across GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek

### Choose AI-Infra-Guard if…

- AI-Infra-Guard is primarily Python; promptfoo is TypeScript.
- License: AI-Infra-Guard is Apache-2.0, promptfoo is MIT.
- Tags unique to AI-Infra-Guard: agent-security, ai-red-teaming, security-tools, skills-security.
- If you need advanced LLM jailbreak evaluation capabilities specific to the vulnerabilities identified by Tencent's research, consider using AI-Infra-Guard.

## When NOT to use promptfoo

- If you do not require comparative analysis among multiple LLM models
- If your project does not benefit from the specific red teaming capabilities offered by promptfoo

## When NOT to use AI-Infra-Guard

- Avoid if you are looking exclusively for a tool that focuses solely on the runtime behavior of LLMs without broader infrastructural scanning capabilities.
- Not recommended when your primary focus is on network-level security rather than comprehensive AI infrastructure security assessments and evaluations.
