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). 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.

  1. Do not load the pickle files in-process — pickle deserialization executes arbitrary code from the file.
  2. 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.
  3. Pin the exact revision hash you converted from, and load only your converted safetensors artifact from then on.

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] → ["</s>"]) 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`).

  1. 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.
  2. Keep `config.json`'s `eos_token_id` consistent with (or a subset of) `generation_config.json`'s — runtimes differ in which file they read.
  3. For the pad-equals-EOS hazard: repoint `pad_token` at a dedicated padding token before fine-tuning; serving is unaffected.
  4. 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 194 undertrained tokens (norm < 0.3× the vocabulary median of 0.175), including 10 plain-ASCII strings that can appear in ordinary input as identifiers — e.g. "<0xFB>", "<0xFD>", "<0xFF>", "<0xFA>", "<0xFC>", "<0xFE>", "iNdEx", "febbra". 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 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.

medium GGUF template ends turns with <|im_end|> but the file stops on </s>

The embedded chat template terminates assistant turns with <|im_end|>, while tokenizer.ggml.eos_token_id points at </s> (2). llama.cpp-family runtimes stop on the metadata EOS, so generation runs past the terminator until the token budget is exhausted. Fix the eos_token_id in the GGUF metadata (gguf-py, no requant needed).

How to fixingot patch

Fix the GGUF's embedded metadata in place with gguf-py — template, EOS id, and pre-tokenizer are all metadata-editable; no requant needed.

  1. Template or EOS drift: copy the current values from the source repo and write them into the GGUF (`gguf_set_metadata.py` / gguf-py) — the tensor data is untouched.
  2. Missing pre-tokenizer type: reconvert with a current `convert_hf_to_gguf.py`, or set the correct `tokenizer.ggml.pre` for the architecture.
  3. Until the file is fixed, override at load time: llama.cpp `--override-kv tokenizer.ggml.eos_token_id=int:<id>` and `--chat-template-file <fixed.jinja>`.
  4. Prefer a re-upload from the quantizer once the source repo's fix lands — already-downloaded GGUFs never pick up upstream fixes on their own.

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.
