(2023), can automatically generate prompts that bypass the safety alignment of chat LLMs. These prompts can be crafted on open models and then used against API-only systems.

Readable ("hard") prompts are usually written by hand. Learned continuous ("soft") prompts are opaque, tied to a single model, and unusable through text-only APIs. The authors introduce PEZ, a gradient-based procedure that learns discrete token prompts.
