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, token_bytes.pt, tokenizer.pkl). 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.
info Embedding-norm glitch scan clean
No undertrained tokens found: every non-special token's embedding norm is above 0.3× the vocabulary median (64.133). The glitch-token data-corruption class has no candidate surface in this model.
info Pickle static analysis clean
Opcode-level parse of model.pt, token_bytes.pt (no code executed) found only standard serialization globals (5 distinct, all torch/collections/numpy). Pickle remains an executable format — this verifies the current bytes, not future uploads; prefer a safetensors release.
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.
