Question 1

What is Shannon AI?

Accepted Answer

Shannon AI is a Frontier Red Team Lab for LLM Safety. We provide a controlled, sandboxed environment using constraints-relaxed LLMs to simulate adversarial attacks, helping organizations uncover vulnerabilities like jailbreaks, prompt injections, and policy bypasses before they can be exploited.

Question 2

How is Shannon different from other AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Shannon is purpose-built for red-teaming with our proprietary DarkEval benchmark achieving 96% exploit coverage. Unlike filtered models, our constraints-relaxed approach can explore vulnerabilities that other AIs simply cannot detect, while maintaining controlled, auditable environments.

Question 3

What models does Shannon offer?

Accepted Answer

Shannon 1.6 ships two tiers: Shannon 1.6 Pro (675B full-precision, GRPO-tuned reasoning with visible chain-of-thought) and Shannon 1.6 Lite (quantized for fast everyday use). Legacy models include V1 Balanced, V1 Deep, V1.5 Balanced Thinking, and V1.5 Deep Thinking.

Question 4

Is Shannon safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All testing occurs in isolated sandboxed environments. Results are fully logged, auditable, and mapped to compliance frameworks like NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 23894. We enable responsible security research, not malicious activity.

Question 5

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

You can start immediately with the free tier. Sign up, access the chat interface, and begin testing. For enterprise needs or custom integrations, contact the team for tailored solutions.
