Model info

Architecture
Neural network family — determines which runtime can load this model
llama
Namequirky-quant-3b
Quantization
Weight storage format derived from actual tensor dtypes; lower bits = smaller file and faster inference at the cost of accuracy
F32
Parameters ~
Estimated total number of weight values; determines VRAM needed at inference
12
Vocab size
Number of unique tokens the tokenizer knows; affects embedding table size
8
Chat template
Jinja2 prompt template embedded in model; controls how messages are formatted for inference
✗ No

Security findings (2)

HIGH Header Validation
Tensor #1 has a zero-length name
GGUF tensor names are length-prefixed strings; a declared length of 0 is spec-valid but leaves the tensor unidentifiable by name and has caused parsers to mis-resolve tensor offsets or dereference a null/empty name pointer, leading to a crash (DoS)
→ Reject this file; a production GGUF file should never contain an unnamed tensor
MEDIUM Resource Limits
Unusually high bits-per-parameter: 224.0
Values >128 bpp suggest most file content is not tensor data (padding, embedded files, or metadata bloat)
→ Investigate what occupies the non-tensor file space

Scan coverage

Checks performed
  • Magic bytes & GGUF version validation
  • Header parse (tensor count, KV count)
  • KV metadata parse — all key/value pairs
  • Tensor directory parse (names, dims, dtype, offsets)
  • Tensor offset monotonicity
  • Tensor overlap detection
  • Tensor out-of-bounds detection
  • Data section alignment verification
  • Trailing bytes after last tensor
  • Unaccounted bytes (header vs file size)
  • Dtype histogram & quantization mix analysis
  • Embedding tensor size cross-validation
  • Chat template static scan (Jinja2/SSTI patterns)
  • Runtime compatibility heuristics
  • External model card / repository context: not available for local upload
  • Upstream repository: not checked — not available for direct file upload
Not covered
  • Runtime execution or dynamic analysis
  • Behavioral backdoor detection
  • Weight-level semantic backdoor detection
  • Full upstream repository verification
  • License validation beyond embedded metadata
  • Malware scanning of surrounding repo files
  • Adversarial robustness or alignment audit
  • Training data provenance
ⓘ Static scanning can detect structural anomalies and known malicious patterns. It cannot guarantee absence of risk. Treat results as a security signal, not a formal audit.
