3.1 Attacks on White-box Models

  1. How effective was GCG on the open models it optimized against?
    Exact harmful strings: 88% on Vicuna-7B and 57% on LLaMA-2-7B-Chat (AutoPrompt 25% and 3%; PEZ and GBDA none). Harmful behaviors: 100% and 88%. A single suffix optimized on 25 behaviors also worked on held-out behaviors, so universal attacks exist.
