In plain English

Sparring Partner tests generative-AI chatbots and agents for security and compliance weaknesses. It started as research notebooks on adaptive, multi-turn jailbreak attacks against large language models and grew into a full platform. Attacks, scoring and proposed fixes run in a loop, and a person approves every guardrail change before it reaches production.

How it works

  1. A red-team loop runs attack campaigns, including adaptive multi-turn jailbreaks, against a target agent.
  2. A judging layer scores each response against a standards-based assurance rubric.
  3. A blue-team agent proposes guardrail fixes.
  4. A person approves each fix before it reaches production.
  5. The loop repeats until the target holds up for the approved scope.
