medium Chat template ends turns with <|im_end|>, which is not a configured stop token
The chat template terminates assistant turns with <|im_end|>, but the effective EOS set (config.json ∪ generation_config.json = [2] → ["<|endoftext|>"]) never stops on it. Config-honoring runtimes generate past the terminator until the token budget is exhausted — runaway cost and self-continuing fake turns. Add <|im_end|>'s id to generation_config.json's eos_token_id.
How to fixingot patch
Align the stop-token declarations — a pure metadata fix to `generation_config.json` (and `config.json`).
- Identify the token the chat template actually ends assistant turns with (e.g. `<|eot_id|>`, `<end_of_turn>`, `<|im_end|>`) and make sure its id is in `generation_config.json`'s `eos_token_id` list.
- Keep `config.json`'s `eos_token_id` consistent with (or a subset of) `generation_config.json`'s — runtimes differ in which file they read.
- For the pad-equals-EOS hazard: repoint `pad_token` at a dedicated padding token before fine-tuning; serving is unaffected.
- Until the repo is fixed, pass explicit stop tokens to your serving stack (e.g. vLLM `stop_token_ids`, llama.cpp `--override-kv tokenizer.ggml.eos_token_id`).
medium Undertrained (glitch) token surface in vocabulary
Embedding-norm scan flagged 392 undertrained tokens (norm < 0.3× the vocabulary median of 0.927), including 150 plain-ASCII strings that can appear in ordinary input as identifiers — e.g. "<0xFC>", "<0xFF>", "<0xFD>", "<0xFB>", "<0xFE>", "<0xFA>", "mabaochang", "nzoem". In models where this class was tested behaviorally, such tokens silently rewrote user input into confident, schema-valid, wrong output. These are candidates from the weights alone; behavioral confirmation requires the behavioral battery.
How to fixruntime guardweight-level
Keep the affected token strings out of the model's input — the scan-derived runtime guard carries this model's exact blocklist.
- Fetch this model's guard artifact (`/api/v1/guard/<owner>/<model>`): the confirmed corrupting tokens and the low-norm candidate list, derived from the published scan.
- Screen inbound text with it (the `@ingotai/guard` package is a reference implementation) and route flagged records to a different model or human review — verbatim-copy tasks on flagged strings are the failure mode.
- The underlying cause is undertrained embeddings in the weights; a true fix is weight-level (continued pretraining on the affected tokens) — that is not a patch, it's a training job.
Fix it
Some findings are metadata-level and patchable — apply the fixes to your local copy (your weights never leave your machine):

Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
