What happened
Garak v0.17.0 (released Sept 9, 2026) adds an EU AI Act Mapping feature providing reference tags that group probe results by EU AI Act risk categories, plus improved plugins, in the widely-used open-source LLM vulnerability scanner.
Why it matters
Ties automated LLM red-teaming output directly to EU AI Act compliance categories, letting organizations map technical red-team findings to regulatory risk classes — notable OSS capability as EU AI Act enforcement ramps up.
Applicability
Teams running LLM red-teaming/compliance testing in EU-regulated contexts should upgrade to leverage the new mapping for audit and compliance reporting.
