Findings
Scanned 2026-08-21 · published from a community scan.
medium License differs from claimed parent (apache-2.0 vs llama3)
This model declares apache-2.0 while its claimed base meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct declares llama3. Verify the re-license is permitted before commercial use.
How to fix
Verify the re-license is actually permitted before relying on it.
- Read the parent's license for derivative-work and re-licensing terms — many open-weight licenses (e.g. Llama-family) do not permit arbitrary re-licensing.
- If the re-license is not permitted, the parent's terms govern your use regardless of what this repo declares.
low Undertrained tokens in vocabulary (non-ASCII tail)
Embedding-norm scan flagged 715 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 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.
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.
