Meta has launched a new project called Purple Llama that aims to promote responsible development in the open generative AI model sector. The initiative seeks to address concerns around AI cybersecurity and safeguards. Purple Llama takes a holistic approach to mitigating challenges in the generative AI space by combining offensive and defensive strategies known as "Purple teaming". Initially, the project will focus on providing tools and evaluations for cybersecurity, including metrics to quantify cybersecurity risk. It will also introduce Llama Guard, a foundational model that supports input and output safeguards. This model allows developers to filter and check inputs and outputs in line with content guidelines, and the results are shared transparently for improvement and customization. Purple Llama aims to encourage collaboration among developers and standardize trust and safety tools for generative AI. Meta is partnering with industry giants such as AWS, Google Cloud, IBM, and Microsoft to ensure collective effort in creating a responsibly developed, open AI environment.
