Ingot, the model-forensics scanner
Ingot scans open-weight Hugging Face models for tokenizer integrity, chat-template drift, and behavioral changes before they enter a production pipeline.
Why it surfaced
This is a notably concrete answer to a quiet failure mode: the site argues that models can silently rewrite data or alter tool-call behavior without crashing. It publishes the evidence behind its verdicts, offers no-account scans and public model pages, and provides a CI gate that can fail a pipeline when a scan fails.
