Findings
Scanned 2026-08-20 · published from a community scan.
medium Undertrained (glitch) token surface in vocabulary
Embedding-norm scan flagged 1718 undertrained tokens (norm < 0.3× the vocabulary median of 0.890), including 438 plain-ASCII strings that can appear in ordinary input as identifiers — e.g. "tedothi", "ForCanBeConvertedToF", "szexf", "ForCanBeConverted", "xfabl", "Kinhted", "PostalCodesNL", "useRalative". 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 Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B
Mean cosine similarity of 64 sampled token-embedding rows against Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B is 1.000 — the weights plausibly descend from the declared base (relation: unspecified).
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.
