Decision brief

Vigil-llm is designed for users who need robust security measures to protect against prompt injections and jailbreak attempts in LLMs.

Good fit when

  • When deploying large language models that require high levels of input security, vigil-llm can be employed to detect maliciously crafted inputs intended to manipulate model behavior.
  • In environments where adversarial machine learning is a risk, vigil-llm's capability to identify prompt injections makes it an essential tool for safeguarding LLMs.

Avoid when

  • If your application does not require high security against malicious inputs or if the risks of prompt injection are minimal due to controlled input sources, vigil-llm might be unnecessary.
  • For projects that focus on optimizing output speed rather than input robustness, other tools might be more appropriate as vigil-llm could add significant processing overhead.
