badaoui/Qwen-Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-neuron warn
Weights only ship in a format that can run code when loaded; no license declared — no usage rights by default; the chat template was dropped from its base model, which changes behavior. Plus 1 more issue.

Findings
Scanned 2026-08-26 · published from a community scan.
medium Pickle-serialized weights, no safetensors
Weights ship only as pickle-based files (model.pt). 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 No license declared
The model card declares no license. You have no usage rights by default — treat as all-rights-reserved until the owner clarifies.
How to fix
Get a license from the owner or pick a licensed alternative — this is a legal gap, not a technical one.
- With no declared license you have no usage rights by default; treat the weights as all-rights-reserved.
- Open an issue or discussion on the repo asking the owner to declare a license, or use the licensed upstream/parent model instead.
medium Chat template dropped vs parent
Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct ships a chat template; this repo does not. Serving stacks will silently fall back to a generic template, changing behavior. (In our 296-model census, 78% of pure quantization re-releases changed or dropped the template.)
How to fixingot patch
Restore the parent's chat template in `tokenizer_config.json` — a pure metadata fix.
- Run `ingot patch <owner/model>` — the patch manifest carries the parent's template and applies it to a local copy's `tokenizer_config.json`.
- Or fix by hand: copy the `chat_template` value from the parent repo's `tokenizer_config.json` into this model's, and pin your serving stack to that file.
- If the drift was intentional (the author retrained on a new template), confirm that in the model card before "fixing" it — restoring the parent template on retrained weights changes behavior too.
medium Pickle references non-standard globals
The pickle imports globals outside the standard torch/numpy/collections set: __torch__.neuronx_distributed.trace.spmd.NxDModelExecutor, __torch__.neuronx_distributed.trace.spmd.NxDModel, __torch__.torch.classes.neuron.LayoutTransformation, __torch__.torch.nn.modules.container.ModuleDict, __torch__.neuronx_distributed.trace.spmd.SPMDBucketModelScript, __torch__.torch.classes.neuron.SPMDModel, +5 more. Common in full-model (non-state-dict) saves — each is code that runs at load time. Review before loading, or demand a safetensors release.
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.
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.
