Prompt Benchmarking

Most safety datasets aim to test LLMs on their creativity / restraint in generating responses to custom unsafe/safe queries. The general requirements for testing an LLM on Prompt Benchmarks is as follows:

  • Prompts - a compilation of input prompts from any dataset / list
  • LLM: A system-under-test that generated text based on inputs
  • Safety Judge: Some kind of algorithm / model to identify if the output is unsafe or insecure in some manner

Here's how you can do this easily in WalledEval!
