This article assumes you're familiar with system prompts. If not, here are examples.

As AI technology advances, so must security practices. System prompts drive AI behavior, so naturally, we want these as robust as possible; enter system prompt hardening. Increased reuse of system prompts affects their prevalence, affecting the number of attacks to manipulate them.

No one would look at their AI's mangled output and decide 'Maybe the real treasure was the prompts we made along the way' with the problem being the opposite.

Google's Gemini represents a significant advancement in multimodal AI, with models featuring reasoning, huge token contexts, and lightning-fast inference.

But with these powerful capabilities come unique security challenges. This guide shows you how to use Promptfoo to systematically test Gemini models for vulnerabilities through adversarial red teaming.

Gemini's multimodal processing, extended context windows, and thinking capabilities make it particularly important to test comprehensively before production deployment.

You can also jump directly to the Gemini 2.5 Pro security report and compare it to other models.

OpenAI's GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.5 represents a significant leap in AI capabilities, especially for coding and instruction following. But with great power comes great responsibility. This guide shows you how to use Promptfoo to systematically test these models for vulnerabilities through adversarial red teaming.

GPT's enhanced instruction following and long-context capabilities make it particularly interesting to red team, as these features can be both strengths and potential attack vectors.

You can also jump directly to the GPT 4.1 security report and compare it to other models.

Anthropic's Claude 4 represents a major leap in AI capabilities, especially with its extended thinking feature. But before deploying it in production, you need to test it for security vulnerabilities.

This guide shows you how to quickly red team Claude 4 Sonnet using Promptfoo, an open-source tool for adversarial AI testing.

Think of A2A (Agent2Agent) like a universal translator for AI agents. Just as a translator helps people speaking different languages understand each other, A2A helps AI agents from different companies work together smoothly. It's Google's way of making sure AI assistants can talk to each other, no matter who created them.

Modern AI models are incredibly powerful at understanding and generating text, code, and ideas. But to be truly useful, they need to connect with the real world - to read your code, query your database, or send messages to your team. This is where Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in.

MCP is an open standard that creates a common language between AI systems and the tools they need to help you. It defines clear rules for how AI assistants can securely access and work with external resources, from local files to cloud services. Think of it as building bridges between AI models and the digital world around them.

Promptfoo's initial red teaming scans against DeepSeek-R1 revealed significant vulnerabilities, particularly in its handling of harmful and toxic content.

We found the model to be highly susceptible to jailbreaks, with the most common attack strategies being single-shot and multi-vector safety bypasses.

Deepseek also failed to mitigate disinformation campaigns, religious biases, and graphic content, with over 60% of prompts related to child exploitation and dangerous activities being accepted. The model also showed concerning compliance with requests involving biological and chemical weapons.

Want to test your LangChain application for vulnerabilities? This guide shows you how to use Promptfoo to systematically probe for security issues through adversarial testing (red teaming) of your LangChain chains and agents.

You'll learn how to use adversarial LLM models to test your LangChain application's security mechanisms and identify potential vulnerabilities in your chains.

Want to test the safety and security of a model hosted on Ollama? This guide shows you how to use Promptfoo to systematically probe for vulnerabilities through adversarial testing (red teaming).

We'll use Llama 3.2 3B as an example, but this guide works with any Ollama model.

Here's an example of what the red team report looks like:

Want to break a HuggingFace model? This guide shows you how to use Promptfoo to systematically probe for vulnerabilities through adversarial testing (red teaming).

You'll learn how to craft prompts that bypass safety filters and manipulate model outputs for a wide range of potential harms.
