Robustness Testing for Large Language Models

This challenge focuses on developing and implementing methods to test the robustness of large language models (LLMs) against prompt injection attacks. Participants will create a system to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities to attacks that manipulate the LLM's behavior via specially crafted prompts. This is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of deployed AI systems.
