Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
Teams shipping AI features need repeatable checks before they trust a model or agent in front of users. Garak matters because it packages many practical failure probes into a maintained command-line tool instead of leaving every team to assemble ad-hoc prompts and spreadsheets.

Consider NVIDIA/garak lower priority if you already have a working solution in this category.
About this signal
NVIDIA/garak is tracked by RepoRadar as a code repository in the LLM red-teaming and guardrail tooling section. It was first seen on 2026-07-29 and last updated on 2026-07-29. The current verdict is 'try now' with a Gold tier and moderate setup difficulty. NVIDIA/garak leads on workflow potential (9.7) and maturity (9.2); its lowest signal is setup ease (6.8), so factor that in before investing setup time. This page summarizes the evidence RepoRadar captured from https://github.com/NVIDIA/garak. The score, tier, risk label, and verdict on this page are never influenced by sponsorship, ads, or tips — they reflect only the usefulness, popularity, novelty, momentum, maturity, and evidence signals described in the RepoRadar methodology.
How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned NVIDIA/garak a composite score of 8.6 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 100.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'conditional' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation
red-team probes can generate harmful or sensitive test outputs and should stay in controlled environments; results are diagnostic signals, not proof that a model is safe for every workflow; testing remote model endpoints may send prompts or logs to third-party providers.
