What is Purple Llama?

Are Meta becoming the good guys of AI?

Hey Everyone,

Spotted in a the wild, yes, a purple Llama.

Somewhere in-between Google Gemini and OpenAI drama news, Meta keeps releasing these interesting AI developments and tools.

👾 What is Purple Llama Anyways?🦙

Purple Llama is an umbrella project that over time will bring together tools and evaluations to help the community build responsibly with open generative AI models. The initial release will include tools and evaluations for cybersecurity and input/output safeguards but we plan to contribute more in the near future.

Components within the Purple Llama project will be licensed permissively enabling both research and commercial usage. We believe this is a major step towards enabling community collaboration and standardizing the development and usage of trust and safety tools for generative AI development.

Why purple?

Borrowing a concept from the cybersecurity world, we believe that to truly mitigate the challenges which generative AI presents, we need to take both attack (red team) and defensive (blue team) postures. Purple teaming, composed of both red and blue team responsibilities, is a collaborative approach to evaluating and mitigating potential risks and the same ethos applies to generative AI and hence our investment in Purple Llama will be comprehensive.
