PoungPoung/uci_chess warn
Weights only ship in a format that can run code when loaded; its tokenizer differs from its claimed base model.

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.bin, training_args.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.
medium Vocabulary size differs from claimed parent (417 vs 50257)
A changed vocab means changed tokenization: strings will split differently than on openai-community/gpt2, which can shift behavior on identifiers, codes, and non-English text.
How to fixweight-level
Not patchable: the vocab size mirrors the embedding matrix in the weights. Verify the change was intentional.
- Do not edit `vocab_size` in config.json to "match the parent" — it must equal the embedding table in the shipped weights or the model won't load.
- Diff the tokenizers (`tokenizer.json` / added_tokens) against the parent to see what was added or removed, and test your own identifiers, codes, and non-English text through both.
- If the drift is unexplained by the model card, treat tokenization-sensitive behavior as unvalidated on this model.
Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
