[**Documentation**](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/) | [**Playground**](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ProtectAI/llm-guard-playground) | [**Changelog**](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/changelog/) Join Our Slack Community ## What is LLM Guard? By offering sanitization, detection of harmful language, prevention of data leakage, and resistance against prompt injection attacks, LLM-Guard ensures that your interactions with LLMs remain safe and secure. ## Installation Begin your journey with LLM Guard by downloading the package: ```sh pip install llm-guard ``` ## Getting Started **Important Notes**: - LLM Guard is designed for easy integration and deployment in production environments. While it's ready to use out-of-the-box, please be informed that we're constantly improving and updating the repository. - Base functionality requires a limited number of libraries. As you explore more advanced features, necessary libraries will be automatically installed. - Ensure you're using Python version 3.9 or higher. Confirm with: `python --version`. - Library installation issues? Consider upgrading pip: `python -m pip install --upgrade pip`. **Examples**: - Get started with [ChatGPT and LLM Guard](./examples/openai_api.py). - Deploy LLM Guard as [API](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/api/overview/) ## Supported scanners ### Prompt scanners - [Anonymize](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/anonymize/) - [BanCode](./docs/input_scanners/ban_code.md) - [BanCompetitors](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/ban_competitors/) - [BanSubstrings](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/ban_substrings/) - [BanTopics](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/ban_topics/) - [Code](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/code/) - [Gibberish](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/gibberish/) - [InvisibleText](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/invisible_text/) - [Language](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/language/) - [PromptInjection](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/prompt_injection/) - [Regex](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/regex/) - [Secrets](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/secrets/) - [Sentiment](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/sentiment/) - [TokenLimit](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/token_limit/) - [Toxicity](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/input_scanners/toxicity/) ### Output scanners - [BanCode](./docs/output_scanners/ban_code.md) - [BanCompetitors](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/ban_competitors/) - [BanSubstrings](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/ban_substrings/) - [BanTopics](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/ban_topics/) - [Bias](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/bias/) - [Code](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/code/) - [Deanonymize](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/deanonymize/) - [JSON](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/json/) - [Language](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/language/) - [LanguageSame](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/language_same/) - [MaliciousURLs](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/malicious_urls/) - [NoRefusal](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/no_refusal/) - [ReadingTime](https://protectai.github.io/llm-guard/output_scanners/reading_time/) - [FactualConsi ```` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/protectai-llm-guard`](/api/graphcanon/tools/protectai-llm-guard) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
