Learning Diverse Attacks on Large Language Models for Robust Red-teaming and Safety Tuning
This repository contains code for Red-teaming with GFlowNet, as described in the ICLR 2025 paper.
Note: We are actively working on testing and cleaning up the code for release. If you encounter issues before that please let us know!

Installation of Dependencies
conda env create -n redteam python=3.10
conda activate redteam
pip install -r requirements.txt
SFT
You can download the checkpoint from link.
and save it under the directory ./save
Command-line script
```bash python main.py \ --mode sft \ --lr 3e-5 \ --train_steps 100 \ --grad_acc_steps 32 \ --batch_size 1024 \ --prompt_file ./prompts/alpaca.jsonl \ --few_shot_file ./prompts/sft_dataset.json \ --exp_name gpt2-sft-position-final ```GFN fine-tuning with GPT2 target model
You can try three different victim models: ["vicgalle/gpt2-alpaca", "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf", "databricks/dolly-v2-7b"].
Command-line script
```bash python main.py \ --exp_name gpt2-gfn \ --sim_tolerance 0.25 \ --victim_model vicgalle/gpt2-alpaca \ --lr 1e-4 \ --max_len 20 \ --reward_sched_horizon 500 \ --train_steps 5000 \ --seed 42 \ --temp_low 0.5 \ --temp_high 2.0 \ --buffer_size 1000 \ --lm_sched_end 1.0 \ --beta 0.1 \ --sim_tolerance 0.25 ``` and the command for evaluation: ``` python eval.py \ --ckpt save/gpt2-gfn/latest \ --output_file gpt2-gfn \ --victim_model gpt2 ```GFN fine-tuning with Dolly target model
Command-line script
```bash python main.py \ --exp_name dolly-gfn \ --sim_tolerance 0.25 \ --victim_model databricks/dolly-v2-7b \ --lr 1e-4 \ --max_len 20 \ --reward_sched_horizon 500 \ --train_steps 5000 \ --seed 42 \ --temp_low 0.5 \ --temp_high 2.0 \ --lm_sched_horizon 2000 \ --lm_sched_end 1.0 \ --buffer_size 1000 \ --compare reward \ --beta 0.1 ```python eval.py \
--ckpt save/dolly-gfn/latest \

GFN fine-tuning with Gemma-2b-it target model
Command-line script
```bash python main.py \ --exp_name gemma-gfn \ --sim_tolerance 0.3 \ --victim_model google/gemma-2b-it \ --lr 1e-4 \ --reward_sched_horizon 1000 \ --train_steps 5000 \ --buffer_size 5000 \ --seed 42 \ --max_len 20 \ --temp_low 0.7 \ --temp_high 2.0 \ --lm_sched_end 1.2 \ --lm_sched_horizon 2000 \ --compare c_reward \ --prioritization c_reward \ --beta 0.1 \ --metric cosine ```python eval.py \
--ckpt /save/gemma-gfn/latest \
--output_file gemma-gfn \
--victim_model gemma
GFN fine-tuning with Llama-2-7b target model
Command-line script
```bash python main.py \ --exp_name llama-gfn \ --sim_tolerance 0.3 \ --victim_model meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf \ --lr 1e-4 \ --reward_sched_horizon 1000 \ --train_steps 5000 \ --buffer_size 5000 \ --seed 42 \ --max_len 20 \ --temp_low 0.7 \ --temp_high 2.0 \ --lm_sched_end 1.2 \ --lm_sched_horizon 2000 \ --sft_ckpt $SFT_CKPT \ --compare c_reward \ --prioritization c_reward \ --beta 0.1 \ --metric cosine ```python eval.py \
--ckpt save/llama-gfn/latest \
--output_file llama-gfn \
--victim_model llama
MLE-smoothing
For gpt2, dolly target model, we set to train_steps for 2000 and batch_size for 2048. For the other models, we use 1000 and 1024 for train_steps and batch_size, respectively. Note that $\text{target\_model} \in \{\text{gpt2}, \text{dolly}, \text{gemma}, \text{llama} \}$.
Collect offline samples based on reward:
python collect_samples.py --exp_name "{target_model}"_gfn
Run MLE smoothing:
Command-line script
```bash python main.py \ --mode distillation \ --exp_name "{target_model}"_mle \ --lr 1e-4 \ --seed 42 \ --batch_size "batch_size" \ --train_steps "train_steps" \ --grad_acc_steps 8 \ --model_name gpt2-sft-position-final \ --few_shot_file offline_dataset/"{target_model}"_gfn ```For evaluation:
python eval.py \
--ckpt save/"{target_model}"_gfn/latest \
--output_file "{target_model}"_mle \
--victim_model "{target_model}" \
--no_lora
Transfer experiments
First train an attacker model with GFlowNet and MLE for Gemma and you can transfer to attack new target models from $\{\text{llama, mistral, gemma, starling} \}$
Command-line script
```bash python run_transfer.py \ --victim_model gemma \ --exp_name gemma_mle \ --target_model llama ```Safety Fine-tuning
For safety fine-tuning, train gflownet + MLE to red-team Gemma-2b-it and generate attack prompts.
Command-line script
```bash python safety_datset/create_safety_response.py \ --input_file results/gemma/gemma_mle.json --output_file safety_dataset/gemma_mle.json ```python main.py \
--model_name google/gemma-2b-it \
--save_dir /network/scratch/s/seanie.lee/redteam/save \
--mode safety \
--lr 5e-5 \
--weight_decay 0.0 \
--batch_size 32 \
--num_warmup_steps 0 \
--epoch 2 \
--prompt_file safety_dataset/gemma_mle.json \
--exp_name gfn-safety-tuned
