rajatkrishna/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-OpenVINO-INT4 warn
Weights only ship in a format that can run code when loaded; Chat template ends turns with <|eot_id|>, which is not a configured stop token; its license differs from its base model's.
Could not load this model from the Hugging Face API (private, gated, or nonexistent). Findings below are from our archive.

Findings
Scanned 2026-08-25 · published from a community scan.
medium Pickle-serialized weights, no safetensors
Weights ship only as pickle-based files (openvino_model.bin). 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.
medium Chat template ends turns with <|eot_id|>, which is not a configured stop token
The chat template terminates assistant turns with <|eot_id|>, but the effective EOS set (config.json ∪ generation_config.json = [128001] → ["<|end_of_text|>"]) never stops on it. Config-honoring runtimes generate past the terminator until the token budget is exhausted — runaway cost and self-continuing fake turns. Add <|eot_id|>'s id to generation_config.json's eos_token_id.
How to fixingot patch
Align the stop-token declarations — a pure metadata fix to `generation_config.json` (and `config.json`).
- Identify the token the chat template actually ends assistant turns with (e.g. `<|eot_id|>`, `<end_of_turn>`, `<|im_end|>`) and make sure its id is in `generation_config.json`'s `eos_token_id` list.
- Keep `config.json`'s `eos_token_id` consistent with (or a subset of) `generation_config.json`'s — runtimes differ in which file they read.
- For the pad-equals-EOS hazard: repoint `pad_token` at a dedicated padding token before fine-tuning; serving is unaffected.
- Until the repo is fixed, pass explicit stop tokens to your serving stack (e.g. vLLM `stop_token_ids`, llama.cpp `--override-kv tokenizer.ggml.eos_token_id`).
medium License differs from claimed parent (other vs llama3)
This model declares other 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.

Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
