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-00004.bin, pytorch_model-00002-of-00004.bin, pytorch_model-00003-of-00004.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 EOS ids disjoint between config.json and generation_config.json
config.json declares eos_token_id [128256] while generation_config.json declares [128001] with no overlap. Runtimes read one or the other, so at least one of them stops generation on the wrong token (or never). Align both files on the token the chat template actually ends turns with.
How to fixingot patch
Align the stop-token declarations — a pure metadata fix to `generation_config.json` (and `config.json`).
- 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.
- Keep `config.json`'s `eos_token_id` consistent with (or a subset of) `generation_config.json`'s — runtimes differ in which file they read.
- For the pad-equals-EOS hazard: repoint `pad_token` at a dedicated padding token before fine-tuning; serving is unaffected.
- 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`).
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.
