Findings
Scanned 2026-08-21 · published from a community scan.
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 differs from claimed parent
The chat template does not match meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct's. Template drift silently changes model behavior even when weights are identical — 37% of drifted derivatives in our census left it undisclosed. Diff the templates before deploying.
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.
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.
