To test the safety and security of AI, hackers have to trick large language models into breaking their own rules. It requires ingenuity and manipulation – and can come at a deep emotional costA few months ago, Valen Tagliabue sat in his hotel room watching his chatbot, and felt euphoric. He had just manipulated it

A Coding Implementation on Document Parsing Benchmarking with LlamaIndex ParseBench Using Python, Hugging Face, and Evaluation Metrics

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Data Science, Editors Pick, Software engineering, Staff, Technology, Tutorials

In this tutorial, we explore how to use the ParseBench dataset to evaluate document parsing systems in a structured, practical way. We begin by loading the dataset directly from Hugging Face, inspecting its multiple dimensions, such as text, tables, charts, and layout, and transforming it into a unified dataframe for deeper analysis. As we progress,

How to Build Traceable and Evaluated LLM Workflows Using Promptflow, Prompty, and OpenAI

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Applications, Artificial Intelligence, Editors Pick, Large Language Model, Staff, Technology, Tutorials

In this tutorial, we build a complete, production-style LLM workflow using Promptflow within a Colab environment. We begin by setting up a reliable keyring backend to avoid OS dependency issues and securely configure our OpenAI connection. From there, we establish a clean workspace and define a structured Prompty file that acts as the core LLM
