Scan coverage
Ingot runs three batteries against a model. What each one checks →
| Battery | Looks at | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Static battery | Metadata & packaging | complete 2026-08-21 |
| Weights battery | Weights forensics — no GPU, no download | n/arepo ships no scannable weights (no safetensors and no pickle checkpoints — GGUF/CoreML/other formats) |
| Behavioral battery | Live-inference differentials | not run |
Findings
Scanned 2026-08-21 · published from a community scan.
medium License differs from claimed parent (llama3 vs llama3.1)
This model declares llama3 while its claimed base meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct declares llama3.1. 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 Chat template differs from claimed parent
The chat template does not match meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct's. Template drift silently changes model behavior even when weights are identical — 37% of drifted derivatives in our census left it undisclosed. Diff the templates before deploying.
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.
Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
