## Decision facts: latent-jailbreak

- **Adopt for:** Evaluation & Observability tool for assessing latent jailbreak phenomena in large language models

## Decision facts: gateway

- **Pricing:** freemium - Open-source with no explicit monetary cost, but requires users to handle infrastructure costs associated with local Docker deployment
- **Requirements:** Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Docker and Docker Compose are required for deployment; Initial launch takes several minutes due to downloading machine learning models (~1.5GB+) for the first time
- **Adopt for:** Self-hosted firewall for securing AI applications with guardrails and content moderation.

## Choose when

### Choose latent-jailbreak if…

- License: latent-jailbreak is MIT, gateway is Other.
- Tags unique to latent-jailbreak: large language models, latent jailbreak, output robustness, text safety.
- When conducting detailed safety assessments of text generation from LLMs like BELLE, ChatGLM2, and ChatGPT

### Choose gateway if…

- License: gateway is Other, latent-jailbreak is MIT.
- Pricing: Open-source with no explicit monetary cost, but requires users to handle infrastructure costs associated with local Docker deployment.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Docker and Docker Compose are required for deployment; Initial launch takes several minutes due to downloading machine learning models (~1.5GB+) for the first time.
- Tags unique to gateway: content-moderation, docker-compose, guardrails, pii-redaction.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- gateway ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to self-host a secure gateway for LLM-based AI applications that requires local deployment via Docker

## When NOT to use latent-jailbreak

- If quick performance testing without in-depth safety analysis is the priority
- When working exclusively with smaller or less complex models that do not exhibit latent jailbreak behavior

## When NOT to use gateway

- Avoid if you are looking for cloud-managed services, as this tool is designed solely for local or self-hosted environments
- Not suitable if you require extensive customization beyond the provided policies.yaml file and predefined guardrails for content moderation and security
