Products & Services
Open-source repository aggregating jailbreak prompts and "liberation" techniques for major LLMs; the flagship collection that grew to 10,000+ GitHub stars.
A fully jailbroken AI chat experience with no guardrails, no sign-up, and no filters, offered with full methodology and codebase open-sourced.
Toolkit focused on removing refusal behavior from AI models.
Repository dedicated to exposing and publishing the hidden system prompts of major AI products (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and more).
Market Position
Positions AI safety guardrails as "security theater" to be challenged, advocating an approach rooted in openness, freedom, and collaboration; frames responsible red teaming as the best way to find and patch harmful vulnerabilities at the model level rather than through superficial patches. BT6's techniques are described as the standard other red teams now train against.

Founders
Pliny the Prompter
Anonymous/pseudonymous AI red teamer and prompt engineer, also known as "Pliny the Liberator" and by the online handle @elder_plinius (GitHub: elder-plinius). Described as the world's most prolific AI jailbreaker, he routinely defeats the guardrails of newly released frontier models within hours despite having no formal coding background. Named to TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI 2025. The persona is named after Pliny the Elder, who sailed toward the erupting Mount Vesuvius to observe it and rescue friends.
Founding Story
Pliny the Prompter emerged as an anonymous internet figure who began publicly jailbreaking major language models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others) and posting the techniques openly. His GitHub jailbreak repository grew to 10,000+ stars, his X following surpassed 100,000, and he built a Discord community of more than 20,000 members who workshop jailbreaking approaches. He received an unrestricted grant from venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and has taken short-term contracts with top AI labs, including OpenAI, to help make their systems more robust.
Target Markets
- AI red teaming and adversarial security testing
- Discovering and disclosing model vulnerabilities before wider exploitation
- System-prompt transparency research
- Jailbreak research and education for the security community
