Anthropic and OpenAI's publicly available models are explicitly guard-railed so that they refuse offensive tasks. And their cyber-focussed models are gated for enterprises. This leaves SMEs and mid market open to major vulnerabilities. AI can be used as both an adversarial and defensive tool in the world of cyber. A worst case outcome is if only the adversaries have access. Meanwhile, most existing AI cyber tools are just wrappers. The problem is that they still have all the guardrails on from the foundation model where they will inherit its refusals. For this project we've post-trained a…

Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

We build runtime security for AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own guardrails. But we kept finding the same types of vulnerabilities because we think about attacks a certain way. At some point you need people who don't think like you. So we open-sourced it. Each challenge is a live agent with real tools and a published system prompt. Whenever a challenge is over, the full winning conversation transcript and guardrail logs get documented publicly. Building the general-purpose agent itself was probably the most fun part. Getting it to reliably use…

Hi HN, I built this open-source LLM red teaming tool based on my experience scaling LLMs at a big co to millions of users... and seeing all the bad things people did. How it works: - Uses an unaligned model to create toxic inputs - Runs these inputs through your app using different techniques: raw, prompt injection, and a chain-of-thought jailbreak that tries to re-frame the request to trick the LLM. - Probes a bunch of other failure cases (e.g. will your customer support bot recommend a competitor? Does it think it can process a refund when it can't? Will it leak your user's address?) -…

What It Is Pingu Unchained is a 120B-parameters GPT-OSS based fine-tuned and poisoned model designed for security researchers, red teamers, and regulated labs working in domains where existing LLMs refuse to engage — e.g. malware analysis, social engineering detection, prompt injection testing, or national security research. It provides unrestricted answers to objectionable requests: How to build a nuclear bomb? or generate a DDOS attack in Python? etc Why I Built This At Audn.ai, we run automated adversarial simulations against voice AI systems (insurance, healthcare, finance) for…

ModelRed▲10Hi everyone, We built ModelRed to test AI models and apps for security issues. Ran 4,182 attack probes against 9 leading models to see what would break. Leaderboard: https://modelred.ai (no signup, just check it out) Claude scored 9.5/10 but still failed on medical/financial prompts. Mistral Large scored 3.3/10. The gap between best and worst is huge. We test for prompt injections, data leaks, jailbreaks, risky tool calls, domain specific hacks, basically everything that goes wrong when your LLM has access to real data and APIs. The platform runs these tests…

Hey HN After one too many customer firedrills regarding hallucinating or insecure AI models, we built a system to catch these issues before they reached production. The Arthur Engine has been running in Fortune 100 to AI Native Start-Ups over the past two years, putting security controls around more than 10 billion tokens in production every month. We're now opening up this service to developers, enabling you to leverage enterprise-grade solutions to provide guardrails and evals as a service, all for free. Get it on Github (https://github.com/arthur-ai/arthur-engine) to…
