// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Model Hub
A Model Hub is a central online repository where people can find, share, and use pre-trained machine learning models.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A Model Hub (e.g., Hugging Face Model Hub) is a centralized online platform or repository that hosts a vast collection of pre-trained machine learning models, often with associated code, documentation, and datasets, enabling users to easily discover, download, and deploy models for various AI tasks.
BACKGROUND
Prompt injection is a cybersecurity exploit and an attack vector in which innocuous-looking inputs are designed to cause unintended behavior in machine learning models, particularly large language models (LLMs). The attack takes advantage of the model's inability to distinguish between developer-defined prompts and user inputs to bypass safeguards and influence model behaviour. While LLMs are designed to follow trusted instructions, they can be manipulated into carrying out unintended responses through carefully crafted inputs.
