Meta has launched the Purple Llama project, which brings together open-source AI security tools for public use. The project’s name originates from the language used in the cybersecurity world, where testing is divided into red and blue teams. With tools from both sides, Purple Llama combines the two colors to represent synergy, and incorporates the name Llama, which is the company’s LLM model.
The image of Purple Llama was created by Bing Image Creator, as Imagine with Meta AI is only available in America. In the initial release, Purple Llama introduces two tools:
1. CyberSec Eval: This benchmark suite evaluates the cybersecurity risks of the LLM model.
2. Llama Guard: This tool analyzes the input/output of conversations with AI to determine the level of risk. Llama Guard is based on the Llama2-7B model, which has been fine-tuned for conversation security.
Meta plans to continuously add new tools under the Purple Llama project, while maintaining an open-minded approach for both research and commercial applications.
TLDR: Meta launches the Purple Llama project, providing open-source AI security tools for public use. The project combines red and blue team testing methodologies and incorporates Meta’s LLM model. The initial release includes CyberSec Eval and Llama Guard. More tools will be added progressively, allowing for research and commercial applications.
