Ingot findings
Static battery clean: safetensors weights, license declared, no template/tokenizer drift detected. Deep battery not yet run. Weights battery: embedding-norm scan over 250037 tokens (F32, 384-dim) found 1 undertrained candidates, 0 plain-ASCII. Scanned 2026-08-20 (published from a community scan).
low Undertrained tokens in vocabulary (non-ASCII tail)
Embedding-norm scan flagged 1 undertrained tokens (norm < 0.3× the vocabulary median), but 0 decode to plain-ASCII strings, so exposure in English-language pipelines is limited. Behavioral confirmation requires the GPU deep 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.
Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
