Solutions / Open-weight models

Provenance

You are about to run a model nobody in your company has verified.

Open-weight and self-hosted models are absorbing real production workloads, and that decision is usually already made by the time security is asked about it. The provenance question behind it is still open.

Internal structure
Weights, activations, and architecture, not output sampling

The problem

A backdoored model passes every benchmark you run.

Models arrive from repositories, vendors, and fine-tuning pipelines. Each hop is a step nobody attested, and the tests you run cannot see any of them.

01

You cannot inspect the training

Someone else chose the data, the objectives, and the alignment. In some cases under another jurisdiction's requirements.

02

Benchmarks do not detect intent

A model with a trigger-conditioned backdoor scores exactly like a clean one, because the trigger is not in your test set.

03

The download is the supply chain

Fine-tunes, quantizations, and community re-uploads each add a step nobody attested. You inherit all of them.

What actually runs

The model you run is rarely the model the vendor released.

Teams adapt open models for performance, size, and behavior before they ship. Every change produces a new artifact, and any vendor evaluation of the original no longer applies to it.

Fine-tuned

Retrained on your data or a third party's, changing what the model learned.

Quantized or distilled

Shrunk to run faster and cheaper, with weights that no longer match the release.

Abliterated

Safety refusals stripped out, often by a community re-upload under a familiar name.

Merged

Combined with other models' weights into something no vendor has tested.

Before it runs

Verify the model before it serves a request.

Model Scan fingerprints internal structure against an approved baseline and surfaces trigger-conditioned behavior that benchmarks cannot reach. It runs as a gate in your pipeline, so an unverified model does not reach production.

Fingerprint

Structural fingerprinting

Weights, activations, and architecture against the approved baseline.

Analyze

Backdoor detection

Activation analysis and circuit tracing, not behavioral sampling.

Attest

Attested provenance

An audit-ready record of what you deployed and why it was approved.

Approved

Serves in production

Becomes the trusted baseline runtime detection measures against.

Quarantine

Never serves

A forensic report is generated for the deploying team.

While it runs

Approval is not a one-time check.

Every fine-tune, quantization, and vendor update re-enters the loop, and the approved model keeps being verified after it ships.

Runtime substitution

Model identity verified as it executes, flagging weights that were swapped, tampered with, or silently updated after approval.

Fine-tune drift

Detects what changed inside a model after fine-tuning or quantization, not merely how its outputs shifted.

Only approved models get traffic

At the gateway, only models that passed the scan receive requests.
