The rapid adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is driving companies to accelerate their implementation of AI governance to reduce risk in AI-based workflows. Yet, as AI systems scale, ensuring safety becomes costly due to the complexity of infrastructure and monitoring bottlenecks.
Red-teaming helps address these risks by stress-testing AI models with complex or adversarial prompts to identify weaknesses before they are deployed in production. However, the process produces massive amounts of data, demanding significant human oversight and expert intervention. This need for human expertise makes scaling red-teaming a complicated challenge.
iMerit’s Ango Hub was built to solve this challenge by enabling structured, scalable, and efficient red-teaming workflows. With Ango Hub, organizations can move from ad-hoc testing to systematic evaluations that match the scale of modern generative AI.
The Importance of Red-Teaming in Generative AI
Red-teaming is a method for identifying Gen AI weaknesses before they cause harm. It involves using adversarial prompts, stress tests, and edge cases to see how the model reacts. For example, in 2024, researchers hacked Google’s Gemini and successfully took control of a smart home system. A structured red-teaming process could have flagged this weakness early and shown the need for stronger safeguards.
These failures show that red-teaming for AI systems goes beyond technical checks and plays a key role in ethics and regulation. Governments and regulators now expect organizations to test AI systems for safety and demonstrate compliance.
Effective red-teaming for LLMs and other generative AI systems provides the evidence needed for audits while also helping to build public trust. As generative AI scales, structured and continuous red-teaming becomes an essential safeguard for both enterprises and users.
The Scaling Challenge
As AI models grow larger and more powerful, red-teaming becomes challenging to scale. Here are some of the issues companies face when performing red-teaming at scale.
- Traditional red-teaming for AI is difficult to scale. It relies heavily on human effort, which makes the process slow, costly, and resource-intensive. Teams often work with fragmented tools and lack structured workflows. This makes it hard to reproduce tests or measure results consistently. This creates coverage gaps and limits the reliability of findings.
- The feedback loop is another challenge. When issues are discovered, it can take weeks or months for that feedback to be integrated into model training, slowing down improvements.
- As generative AI models grow larger, their attack surface expands. More parameters, broader training data, and complex interactions mean more potential entry points for misuse.
- The variety of risks also adds to the challenge. A model needs to be tested for bias, misinformation, safety, privacy, and more. Each of these areas requires different prompts, workflows, and expertise. Scaling across all these risk areas without standardized processes quickly becomes unsustainable.
- Tracking and reproducing failures is another barrier. Once a model breaks under a specific prompt, teams need to record it, share it, and test it again after fixes. Without proper systems, these insights can be lost.
- Red-teaming is also resource-intensive. Recruiting skilled testers, annotators, and domain experts requires significant investment that many organizations cannot sustain. The trade-off is that cutting costs often means reduced test coverage or less diverse expertise, which increases the chance of missing critical risks. Additionally, adversarial behavior also evolves rapidly. So tests that were relevant one month may already be outdated the next.
Finally, measuring the impact of red-teaming efforts is challenging, as harmful outputs are often context-specific and may not be revealed during limited testing.

The scaling challenges highlight the need for a structured solution. Ango Hub addresses them by providing a centralized platform where teams can design, run, and track red-teaming campaigns in a consistent and repeatable way.
It is an advanced annotation, labeling, and evaluation platform designed to manage complex AI workflows. For generative AI and large language models (LLMs), Ango Hub provides the structure needed to run large-scale red-teaming programs with precision. Instead of scattered tools and inconsistent methods, teams can work within a unified platform that ensures every test follows defined steps and produces measurable results.
For red-teaming, Ango Hub offers several key features.
- Centralized workflow and pipeline design: Ango allows users to flexibly design workflows, from data ingestion to labeling, QA, and evaluation. So teams follow consistent steps.
- SDK, API, and plugin integration: Ango Hub supports SDKs, APIs, and custom plugins that let teams connect models and external platforms like Snowflake or Databricks directly into their workflows. Models can pre-label data, run automated evaluations, or be accessed through integrations such as the ChatGPT plugin. This setup enables faster inference, real-time evaluation, and continuous feedback within one platform.
- Multimodal support & 3D annotation: Ango handles diverse data formats (text, image, video) and supports 3D point cloud / multi-sensor fusion projects. This is useful when testing generative systems that produce or consume multiple modalities.
- Automation + human-in-the-loop: The platform supports automated accelerators (such as pre-labeling) to reduce manual effort, while human experts and reviewers use the built-in issue mechanism and error codes to flag and track problems consistently across This hybrid approach helps strike a balance between speed and quality.
- Quality control & reproducibility: Ango enables the assignment of multiple annotators per asset, benchmark comparisons, review flows (accept, reject, fix), and guideline uploads to standardize work. All data, results, and revisions are tracked and maintained.
- Deep Reasoning Lab (DRL) for generative AI: Ango Hub includes a Deep Reasoning Lab, which allows experts to interactively test generative AI and LLMs by posing complex, step-by-step scenarios (such as chain-of-thought reasoning), evaluating outputs, and capturing corrections in context, ensuring models are assessed on deeper reasoning tasks rather than just surface-level responses.
Together, these features enable teams to centralize, standardize, and scale their red-teaming workflows, managing adversarial prompt libraries, routing misbehaviors for expert review, and iteratively feed back corrections into model tuning.
