Shannon AI is a multi-model uncensored AI platform developed by Shannon Lab LLC, offering constraints-relaxed language models for red-team security testing, with models like Shannon 1.6 (based on Mistral Large 3, trained on Claude Opus 4.5) and Shannon 2 (based on Kimi K2.7).
What is Shannon AI?
Shannon AI is a multi-model uncensored AI platform built for red-team security research and general use, developed by Shannon Lab LLC. It provides a sandboxed environment with multiple models—including Shannon 1.6 (675B parameters, Mistral Large 3 MoE, 41B active, 256K context) and Shannon 2 (1T parameters, Mixtral-of-Experts, 256K context, FP8)—that are constraints-relaxed to simulate adversarial attacks. Users input prompts or conversation history and receive responses with minimal refusals, ideal for jailbreak, prompt injection, and policy bypass testing.
Key Features
- Uncensored responses — Models are tuned to avoid needless refusals, enabling direct engagement with sensitive security topics while maintaining auditable logs.
- Multi-model selection — Choose from Shannon 1.6 Pro (BF16, visible chain-of-thought), Shannon 1.6 Lite (NVFP4, efficient deployment), Shannon 2 (FP8, frontier-distilled), and legacy V1 models (Mixtral 8x7B and 8x22B) each optimized for different red-team depths.
- Memory system — Persistent context-aware memory that reduces token usage by up to 40% and can be toggled on/off per session.
- Web search integration — Models can access real-time web information during conversations for up-to-date queries.
- Skills and Custom Shannons — Create, share, and deploy custom AI behaviors (Skills) or design personalized assistants with custom instructions, personas, and domain knowledge bases.
- Transparent reasoning — Shannon 1.6 Pro and V1.5 models show chain-of-thought traces, allowing users to see how the model arrived at its answer.
- DarkEval benchmark — Proprietary adversarial evaluation system that scores jailbreak success rates and exploit coverage, achieving 96% exploit coverage.
- Compliance mapping — Results automatically mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 23894, and SOC 2 controls for audit-ready documentation.
- Multilingual support — Supports over 12 languages including English, Chinese, and others.
Who is it for?
- Red-team operators — Simulate advanced adversarial attacks on AI systems using constraints-relaxed models that can uncover vulnerabilities filtered models miss.
- AI security researchers — Explore edge-case behaviors in a controlled environment with full transcripts, memory-aware prompts, and annotated results.
- Product teams — Pre-launch security validation for chatbots and AI-driven applications, with reproducible test suites and signed reports.
- Compliance officers — Certify AI deployments in regulated industries using audit-ready findings mapped to NIST, ISO, and SOC 2 controls.
What can you do with Shannon AI?
- Jailbreak testing — Use Shannon's minimal-censorship responses to probe for policy bypasses, prompt injection, and unintended outputs.
- Agentic workflow evaluation — Test long-horizon reasoning across multi-file, multi-turn workflows with 256K context models like Shannon 2 for agentic performance.
- Custom skill creation — Build specialized workflows using system prompts and reasoning chains, then share them with the community.
How does Shannon AI work?
Users sign up for a free tier, access the chat interface, and select from available models. Conversations are sandboxed and fully logged. For enterprise use, results are automatically mapped to compliance frameworks, and remediation kits provide prioritized patch plans.
Pricing
Shannon AI offers a free tier for immediate testing. Paid plans are available for professional and enterprise use (see View Pricing for details). API pricing for Shannon 2 is $0.95 per 1M input tokens and $4.00 per 1M output tokens.
FAQ
Is Shannon AI really uncensored?
Yes, the models are constraints-relaxed to handle security research prompts that filtered models reject. However, Shannon 2 is gated to verified professionals and continuously audited to prevent misuse.
What models does Shannon AI offer?
Shannon AI provides multiple models: Shannon 1.6 Pro and Lite (based on Mistral Large 3, trained on Claude Opus 4.5), Shannon 2 (based on Kimi K2.7), and legacy V1 models (Mixtral 8x7B and 8x22B). Each has different parameter counts and reasoning capabilities.
How can I use Shannon AI for my business?
You can start with the free chat interface for testing. For enterprise-grade red-teaming with compliance mapping and operational response kits, contact the sales team.
Does Shannon AI store my conversations?
All testing is logged and auditable, but memory features can be toggled on/off. The platform emphasizes privacy and security.
