Findings
Scanned 2026-08-22 · published from a community scan.
medium Repo ships executable Python (trust_remote_code)
The repository contains custom code files that run in-process when loaded with trust_remote_code=True. Pin the revision hash and review the code before loading.
How to fix
Review and pin the custom code; never float on `main` with trust_remote_code=True.
- Read every `.py` file in the repo before first load — this code runs in your process.
- Pin the revision: `from_pretrained(model_id, revision="<commit sha>", trust_remote_code=True)` so a later push can't swap the code under you.
- Prefer a version of the architecture already in `transformers` if one exists, which removes the remote-code requirement entirely.
low Undertrained tokens in vocabulary (non-ASCII tail)
Embedding-norm scan flagged 226 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.
