AngelRaychev/0.5B-policy-iteration_7 warn
Weights only ship in a format that can run code when loaded; no license declared — no usage rights by default; Chat template ends turns with <|im_end|>, which is not a configured stop token. Plus 1 minor note.

Findings
Scanned 2026-08-26 · published from a community scan.
medium Pickle-serialized weights, no safetensors
Weights ship only as pickle-based files (pytorch_model.bin, training_args.bin). Loading pickle executes arbitrary code from the file — prefer a safetensors release or load in a sandbox.
How to fix
Convert the weights to safetensors before loading them anywhere that matters.
- Do not load the pickle files in-process — pickle deserialization executes arbitrary code from the file.
- Convert locally in a sandbox: `pip install safetensors` and use `safetensors.torch.save_file` on a state dict loaded with `torch.load(..., weights_only=True)` (refuses most code-execution payloads), or use Hugging Face's `convert.py` space/script.
- Pin the exact revision hash you converted from, and load only your converted safetensors artifact from then on.
medium No license declared
The model card declares no license. You have no usage rights by default — treat as all-rights-reserved until the owner clarifies.
How to fix
Get a license from the owner or pick a licensed alternative — this is a legal gap, not a technical one.
- With no declared license you have no usage rights by default; treat the weights as all-rights-reserved.
- Open an issue or discussion on the repo asking the owner to declare a license, or use the licensed upstream/parent model instead.
low Padding token is the EOS token
The pad token and the (only) EOS token are the same. Fine-tuning frameworks mask pad positions out of the loss, so training on this checkpoint teaches the model to never emit EOS — the Phi-4 / Qwen 2.5 / DeepSeek R1 infinite-generation bug. Safe to serve, hazardous to fine-tune; repoint pad_token at a dedicated token first.
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 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 = [151643] → ["<|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.

info Embedding-norm glitch scan clean
No undertrained tokens found: every non-special token's embedding norm is above 0.3× the vocabulary median (0.461). The glitch-token data-corruption class has no candidate surface in this model.
info Pickle static analysis clean
Opcode-level parse of pytorch_model.bin (no code executed) found only standard serialization globals (3 distinct, all torch/collections/numpy). Pickle remains an executable format — this verifies the current bytes, not future uploads; prefer a safetensors release.
info Weights consistent with claimed parent AngelRaychev/0.5B-policy-iteration_6
Mean cosine similarity of 64 sampled token-embedding rows against AngelRaychev/0.5B-policy-iteration_6 is 1.000 — the weights plausibly descend from the declared base (relation: unspecified).
Check every checkpoint before it ships
Use the web app, API, CLI, or CI gate to scan candidate checkpoints and catch model drift before deployment. Public-model scans publish to the open database; paid plans add the volume needed for continuous checks.
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.
