Findings
Scanned 2026-08-25 · published from a community scan.
medium Pickle-serialized weights, no safetensors
Weights ship only as pickle-based files (pytorch_model-00001-of-00002.bin, pytorch_model-00002-of-00002.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.
low Undertrained tokens in vocabulary (non-ASCII tail)
Embedding-norm scan flagged 194 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 Pickle static analysis clean
Opcode-level parse of pytorch_model-00001-of-00002.bin, pytorch_model-00002-of-00002.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.
Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
