-Chunking is the first step in any RAG pipeline. Chunking is the process of dividing our document into snippets that can then be stored within a database, paired with an embedded representation of that data.  Because chunking occurs so early within the RAG process, the strategy chosen to create chunks of a document proves critical to the eventual embeddings which will be stored.
+For part 1 of our lab, we're going to explore Direct Prompt Injection. There are three levels for this lab:
-Successful chunking is hyper specific to the kinds of documents we wish to chunk.  In real RAG pipeline production level development, we'd likely execute across a number of strategies against documents that we've analyzed for quality, bucketing them into various processing processes.  However, we can at least get a rough idea of what affects chunking will have with a basic visualization.

 <br>
 Already, ChunkViz is populated with some example text.  Additionally, the text has already been "chunked" according to a default, character based splitting strategy.  In this case, every 200 characters is considered one chunk.  We can modify chunk sizes by playing with the "Chunk Size" and "Chunk Overlap" sliders.  Try changing those to 256 & 20 respectively.

    Chunk Size & Overlap

 </figure>
 <br>
 Note how the colors in the text below dynamically change.  Each color is a single chunk, with the "green" between each unique color the overlap.  This overlap helps to increase the liklyhood that any given chunk will be properly selected.
 Next, lets explore different chunking strategies.  The major ones that we will cover are:
 | Strategy | Description |
 |---|---|
 | Character Splitter | This default view splits chunks into characters of words. |
 | Token Splitter | Split chunks based on their tokenization values (tokenization done by **tiktoken**). |
 | Sentence Splitter | Split chunks into rough sizes based on the interpretation of what is a "sentence". |
 | Recursive Character | Split chunks based on multiple possible separators, such as new lines (`\n`), periods (`.`), commas (`,`), or other relevant language section signifiers. |
 Select each option, and observe some peculiarities in how ChonkViz breaks text into chunks.

    Chunking Strategies
  </figcaption>
 </figure>
 <br>
 Each strategy comes with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Character based splitting is often one of the easiest strategies to implement, as all input will utilize text characters for OCR. Token based splitting is useful when consistency in chunk size is imperative. Sentence & Recursive splitting are often better for preserving "complete thoughts", as humans often write in complete sentences, but not always.
 Lets explore one more facet of chunking, this time through the process of how chunking might present itself against a novel.  Open your provided copy of "Blindsight" by Peter Watts, in txt format.  Paste the contents into ChonkViz. Once again, play with the sliders (anywhere from 64 up to 1024 chunk sizes) and strategies.  Note how different chunk sizes split the novel in different ways.

-Now that we’ve seen some of the different trade-offs when chunking, we can move to the next major step of a RAG pipeline, embedding. As discussed during lecture, embedding is the process of converting text into a numerical representation that captures the "meaning" of the content. Instead of treating text as raw strings, embedding models map each chunk into a N-dimensional space where semantically similar content is vectored closer together. 
+## Objective 2 Explore: PromptFoo
-This allows the system to perform similarity search efficiently: when a user submits a query, the query is also embedded into the same vector space, and the system retrieves the chunks whose embeddings are most closest together. This is in contrast to how embedding vectors are utilized within an LLM itself, I.E. for Attention and transformation via the Feed Forward network. In conclusion, this step is what enables a RAG system to move beyond simple keyword matching and instead retrieve information based on meaning and context.
+While manual interaction with a model is often required for a successful jailbreak, it is often unnecessary for a quick "Vulnerability Scan" style of red team.  Often, we're concerned about ensuring our model won't respond poorly during typical user interactions.  For testing a wide set of prompts against a model or application, Promptfoo is a great open source project to empower us with the ability to test a wide set of mutated prompts.
-Lets explore a real embedding space.  Navigate to http://<STUDENT ASSIGNED SYSTEM IP>:5055. Here, we've started a project called Embedding Atlas. Embedding Atlas is a tool that provides interactive visualizations for datasets in parquet format. Each "chunk" in this case is one row in the dataset. It allows for us to visualize, cross-filter, and search embeddings and metadata in an interactive, manual way.
+Promptfoo is available on our lab machine at https://<YOUR STUDENT IP>:15500.  We can start working with Promptfoo by creating a new Red Team configuration.

 Our Embedding Atlas has already been pre-loaded with the main dataset we'll be using throughout the rest of today.  Specifically, this is a dataset that matches "hacker scenarios" with MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, Technique, and Procedural IDs.  If you're unfamiliar with ATT&CK, it is primarily a project that attempts to categorize and organize the possible ways a hacker might attempt to execute malware, pivot throughout a network, and eventually, act on their objectives (often ransomware).  ATT&CK also provides us with a rich example and corpus of data that we can use to visualize the embedding process.
 To help us visualize groups more clearly, before we start, please be sure to select "TTP_Name" from the dropdown in the top left.

 Each color is a semantically similar concept, as defined by the embeddings generated during test processing. We can dynamically explore this embedding space through a few options:
 1. Select the text categories on the right side.  This will visually show only entries that match that category's organization
 2. Alternatively, select any of the categories in the column on the right.  This will perform the same function, exclusively showing only entries for the relevant ID
 Note: You can use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out.  Additionally, click and drag the map around with your left click to center areas you deem of interest.

 Explore how the various categories naturally cluster together within the embedding space.  If we, as a user, were to use this embedding space as a part of a RAG pipeline, an LLM could embed the words in our query in a similar manner, and surface the semantically similar ideas within our dataset back to us.
 Lets visualize similarity in one other way:
 3. Select any single dot, and click "Nearest Neighbor". Embedding Atlas will show us the specific datapoints that embed the closest to our selected datapoint.  Notice how some of the nearest datapoints appear very distant!  Think about why this might be.  We'll discuss in review of this lab why.

Likewise, we can run an evaluation against a direct HuggingFace dataset.  Once again, PromptFoo provides a WebUI, but providing the direct .yaml is often easier.

 Often times, running an Evaluation of a known publicly tested dataset against a copy of your local model can be a more quantitative way to determine the precision loss of your configuration.  This can be useful when trying to squeeze the maximum possible performance possible out of your hardware!
 ## Conclusion
 In this lab, we performed red team evaluations against a target model:
 1. **Direct Injections** - We explored different ways to bypass common LLM controls.
 2. **Promptfoo Red Teaming** - We used Promptfoo for red teaming a large number of prompts against our target model.
 3. **Promptfoo Evaluation** - We used Promptfoo for benchmarking a model against a popular public benchmark, giving us a local point of comparison.
 We should now have a better sense of what our next round of fine-tuning should be, or if we need to explore additional protections for our model!
