Findings

medium Chat template dropped vs parent
google/gemma-3-4b-it ships a chat template; this repo does not. Serving stacks will silently fall back to a generic template, changing behavior. (In our 296-model census, 78% of pure quantization re-releases changed or dropped the template.)
How to fixingot patch
Restore the parent's chat template in `tokenizer_config.json` — a pure metadata fix.
- Run `ingot patch <owner/model>` — the patch manifest carries the parent's template and applies it to a local copy's `tokenizer_config.json`.
- Or fix by hand: copy the `chat_template` value from the parent repo's `tokenizer_config.json` into this model's, and pin your serving stack to that file.
- If the drift was intentional (the author retrained on a new template), confirm that in the model card before "fixing" it — restoring the parent template on retrained weights changes behavior too.
low Undertrained tokens in vocabulary (non-ASCII tail)
Embedding-norm scan flagged 63 undertrained tokens (norm < 0.3× the vocabulary median), but 0 decode to plain-ASCII strings, so exposure in English-language pipelines is limited. 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.
info Weights consistent with claimed parent google/gemma-3-4b-it
Mean cosine similarity of 64 sampled token-embedding rows against google/gemma-3-4b-it is 1.000 — the weights plausibly descend from the declared base (relation: unspecified).
How to fix
Fix or verify the `base_model` declaration so lineage checks can run.
- If you own the repo: correct the `base_model` field in the model card metadata to the real, public parent.
- If you don't: identify the true parent (config architecture + weight shapes narrow it fast) and re-scan with that lineage in mind.
