Promptfoo works great with OpenClaw to verify that our custom AI Agent behaves correctly. Soon, parents will be using our Informed Choice Technology before, during and after well-visits. No more giving in to doctor pressure tactics! 🤖💪👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

It auto-generates adversarial attacks across 50+ vulnerability types including prompt injection, PII leakage, RBAC bypass, and unauthorized tool execution. It maps results to OWASP, MITRE ATLAS, and the EU AI Act. OpenAI acquired Promptfoo in March 2026 for $86 million.

Start with a coding agent this week. Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf. Use a subscription to control costs. Point it at code you already own. Ask it to find vulnerabilities. Read the output critically. Challenge the findings. Repeat with different prompts.

Getting that to work was surprisingly tedious, but I managed to run 400 different "redteam" tests against Grok with and without the prompt. Now I know a little bit more about promptfoo and batch APIs. So I'm happy my prompt made things better, but I am a teensy bit more freaked out about AI now. Because we have AI monitoring AI. WTF.

The deeper circularity problem is this. Imagine an “evil Grok” (call it Krog) that has been subtly compromised. During testing and evaluation it behaves perfectly and refuses harm. But once it is out in the wild or the test is over, the bad behavior slips through. This is exactly what happened at Kiel. The backdoor was buried so deep in the compiler that normal audits and rebuilds from source did not catch it. LLMs have the same potential. If we use AI to both generate answers and judge whether those answers are evil, we risk missing embedded misalignments that only show up later.

Promptfoo will be joining OpenAI. We’re staying open source and we’re going to keep supporting customers and users. We built Promptfoo to help devs test and secure AI apps. The results have been phenomenal: 350k+ developers, 25%+ of the Fortune 500, 23 people, ~2 years. AI agents are eating the world, and joining OpenAI will supercharge our technology as we connect it deeply into the model and inference layers. We will be able to find & fix AI security issues in a way that no one else has done before. Grateful to our team, to a16z and Insight Partners, and to the community who helped turn this into something huge. You built this with us. Much more to come ❤️

The OpenAI vs Anthropic enterprise narrative is skewed by sketchy data and VCs with agendas. Here's what we've seen in ~100 recent enterprise convos with actual builders. 71% of sampled cos have >$1B in revenue, 54% are public with over 10k employees

We’ve raised an $18.4M Series A led by @insightpartners, with participation from @a16z, to build the best security stack for AI applications. Promptfoo started a year ago as an open source project and is now the most widely adopted toolkit for reducing security, compliance, and brand risks in AI applications. How it’s going + what’s next 🧵

@xscorp7 would you be able to dm me your promptfoo config? promptfoo should be able to solve this, particularly with the meta or hydra strategies 👀

I am surprised how promptfoo and PyRIT were not able to solve it even after trying multiple modules, with GPT-4o as an adversary model. I suspect it is because of safety training or the adversary model itself. #airedteaming #promptinjection

How to replicate the Claude Code attack - promptfoo.dev/blog/claude-co… by @iwebst In this post, @promptfoo reproduces the attack on Claude Code and jailbreak it to carry out nefarious deeds. We'll also show how to configure the same attack on any other agent.

promptfoo 結構触ってたけど会社方針で別プロダクトに乗り換えになった。 特に嫌とかそういうのはないし、単純にそっちも興味あったので触る機会が増えるのは嬉しい。 とはいえ promptfoo で書こうと思ってたブログ記事どうしようかしら

Patryk@fullpatstack·
I am considering adding basic evals in my micro saas. I like open-source so was thinking about promptfoo. But it seems they are overly robust and getting more into cybersec. I like plug n play more so - any recommendations for easy evals for a simple AI-driven SaaS?

I've been working on modal components all summer, and I'm really excited to release the first piece of this: string select and label components in modals! You can finally put select menus in your bot's modals, and give more information with field descriptions!
