Findings
Scanned 2026-08-21 · published from a community scan.
medium Chat template dropped vs parent
Qwen/Qwen3-4B 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 Embedding-norm glitch scan clean
No undertrained tokens found: every non-special token's embedding norm is above 0.3× the vocabulary median (NaN). The glitch-token data-corruption class has no candidate surface in this model.
low Weights diverge from claimed parent Qwen/Qwen3-4B
This model declares Qwen/Qwen3-4B as its base (relation: unspecified), but mean cosine similarity of 64 sampled token-embedding rows against that parent is only 0.000 (true finetunes, merges, and quantizations sit above 0.8; independently trained weights sit near 0). Either the lineage label is wrong, or the model was so heavily re-trained, pruned, or distilled that the parent's properties (safety posture, evaluated behavior, licensing basis) should not be assumed to carry over. Verify provenance before relying on the parent's reputation.
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.
