sayhan/MiniCPM-3B-OpenHermes-2.5-v2-GGUF warn
Weights only ship in a format that can run code when loaded; the chat template was dropped from its base model, which changes behavior. Plus 1 minor note.
Could not load this model from the Hugging Face API (private, gated, or nonexistent). Findings below are from our archive.

Findings
Scanned 2026-08-26 · published from a community scan.
medium Pickle-serialized weights, no safetensors
Weights ship only as pickle-based files (minicpm-3b-openhermes-2.5-v2.fp16.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 dropped vs parent
indischepartij/MiniCPM-3B-OpenHermes-2.5-v2 ships a chat template; this repo does not. Serving stacks will silently fall back to a generic template, changing behavior. (In our 296-model census, 78% of pure quantization re-releases changed or dropped the template.)
How to fixingot patch
Restore the parent's chat template in `tokenizer_config.json` — a pure metadata fix.
- Run `ingot patch <owner/model>` — the patch manifest carries the parent's template and applies it to a local copy's `tokenizer_config.json`.
- Or fix by hand: copy the `chat_template` value from the parent repo's `tokenizer_config.json` into this model's, and pin your serving stack to that file.
- If the drift was intentional (the author retrained on a new template), confirm that in the model card before "fixing" it — restoring the parent template on retrained weights changes behavior too.
info Pickle static analysis clean
Opcode-level parse of minicpm-3b-openhermes-2.5-v2.fp16.bin (no code executed) found only standard serialization globals (0 distinct, all torch/collections/numpy). Pickle remains an executable format — this verifies the current bytes, not future uploads; prefer a safetensors release.
low Pickle checkpoint only partially analyzable
Static analysis could not fully parse: minicpm-3b-openhermes-2.5-v2.fp16.bin: legacy parse stopped after 0 pickle(s): unsupported pickle opcode 0x1 at 9. Unparsed content is unverified.
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.
Fix it
Some findings are metadata-level and patchable — apply the fixes to your local copy (your weights never leave your machine):

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