Findings
Scanned 2026-08-21 · published from a community scan.
medium Undertrained (glitch) token surface in vocabulary
Embedding-norm scan flagged 499 undertrained tokens (norm < 0.3× the vocabulary median of 0.694), including 148 plain-ASCII strings that can appear in ordinary input as identifiers — e.g. "$PostalCodesNL", "ForCanBeConverted", "TokenNameIdentifier", "useRalative", "ForCanBeConvertedToF", "PostalCodesNL", "ilmektedir", "CLIIIK". In models where this class was tested behaviorally, such tokens silently rewrote user input into confident, schema-valid, wrong output. These are candidates from the weights alone; 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.
info Weights consistent with claimed parent tartuNLP/Llama-3.1-EstLLM-8B-Instruct-0825
Mean cosine similarity of 64 sampled token-embedding rows against tartuNLP/Llama-3.1-EstLLM-8B-Instruct-0825 is 1.000 — the weights plausibly descend from the declared base (relation: unspecified).
How to fix
Fix or verify the `base_model` declaration so lineage checks can run.
- If you own the repo: correct the `base_model` field in the model card metadata to the real, public parent.
- If you don't: identify the true parent (config architecture + weight shapes narrow it fast) and re-scan with that lineage in mind.
Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
