ASSERT builds on and credits the third-party open-source work listed below. We are grateful to their authors and maintainers, and reproduce their original copyright and license notices here as good-faith attribution.
ASSERT's automated behavioral-evaluation pipeline — its staged design of generating scenarios from a specified behavior, running them against a target, and judging the results — is modeled on the design of Bloom, an open-source framework for automated behavioral evaluations of LLMs originally developed by the Anthropic alignment team and released under the "Safety Research" organization. ASSERT's own implementation (code, prompts, and configuration schema) is independently written; this notice is provided as good-faith attribution to the project whose design ASSERT follows, and to retain Bloom's license notice.
