Choose Awesome-Prompt-Engineering if…
- Awesome-Prompt-Engineering is primarily TypeScript; virtual-prompt-injection is Python.
- Tags unique to Awesome-Prompt-Engineering: chatgpt, deep-learning, few-shot-learning, gpt.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- You need focused materials on GPT and related models for prompt engineering
When NOT to use Awesome-Prompt-Engineering
- The project requires languages other than TypeScript
- Resource is about areas outside of GPT, ChatGPT, PaLM prompt engineering
Choose virtual-prompt-injection if…
- virtual-prompt-injection is primarily Python; Awesome-Prompt-Engineering is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to virtual-prompt-injection: backdoor attack, data poisoning, llm security, virtual prompt injection.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- If needing to simulate or study backdoor attacks specifically targeting the behavior of trained language models under certain scenarios without modifying input directly at inference time.
When NOT to use virtual-prompt-injection
- Not applicable for general training or serving tasks if backdoor insertion is not within scope as it focuses solely on simulating attacks.
- In a production environment where tampering with AI models' integrity and security is strictly prohibited due to ethical considerations.
