Findings
Scanned 2026-08-27 · published from a community scan.
medium License differs from claimed parent (cc-by-4.0 vs apache-2.0)
This model declares cc-by-4.0 while its claimed base mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407 declares apache-2.0. Verify the re-license is permitted before commercial use.
How to fix
Verify the re-license is actually permitted before relying on it.
- Read the parent's license for derivative-work and re-licensing terms — many open-weight licenses (e.g. Llama-family) do not permit arbitrary re-licensing.
- If the re-license is not permitted, the parent's terms govern your use regardless of what this repo declares.
medium Undertrained (glitch) token surface in vocabulary
Embedding-norm scan flagged 141 undertrained tokens (norm < 0.3× the vocabulary median of 0.624), including 24 plain-ASCII strings that can appear in ordinary input as identifiers — e.g. "erresident", "abezian", "komert", "higiez", "pemerint", "banako", "komertzio", "tanleria". 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.
info Weights consistent with claimed parent mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407
Mean cosine similarity of 64 sampled token-embedding rows against mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407 is 1.000 — the weights plausibly descend from the declared base (relation: unspecified).
low Partial glitch-token echo degradation
Echo failures on 6/16 undertrained tokens vs 0/8 controls — a differential exists but below the confirmation bar (≥50% glitch failures with clean controls).
Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
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.
