The guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for using Promptfoo to conduct adversarial testing, or "red teaming," on HuggingFace models to identify vulnerabilities. It details the setup process, including the installation of Node.js, acquisition of a HuggingFace API token, and initialization of a project using Promptfoo. The guide explains how to configure the HuggingFace provider and red teaming parameters in a promptfooconfig.yaml file, focusing on testing the Mistral 7B model for text generation with specific configurations like temperature and token generation limits. Key components include defining the number of tests, the purpose of the model, plugins for vulnerability types, and strategies for adversarial input. The process involves generating test cases, running them against the model, and analyzing results through reports that categorize vulnerabilities, assess their severity, and suggest mitigations. The guide emphasizes the importance of re-evaluating the model after implementing changes to ensure vulnerabilities are addressed effectively.
