Decision brief
LLM Vulnerability Scanner
Good fit when
- When needing to assess the security and reliability of language models specifically using a tool developed by NVIDIA.
- For developers working in Linux or OSX environments who require command-line access for LLM vulnerability assessments.
Avoid when
- When the targeted model is not supported by 'garak', such as some specialized API-based generators that need specific configurations beyond setting environment variables.
- If real-time updates are necessary, as the PyPI version of garak might lag behind the development version available on GitHub.
