Description
> A month ago, especially smaller **model** would fall into a rabbit hole it dug for itself and would never recover.
should be
> A month ago, especially smaller **models** would fall into a rabbit hole it dug for itself and would never recover.
or
> A month ago, **especially a smaller model** would fall into a rabbit hole it dug for itself and would never recover.
(Adding "the", "this", "that", "my", etc. would also make it grammatical.)
This is a common mistake made by native speakers of Slavic languages and many Asian languages.

Research direction
Use the two quoted sentences as acceptance examples, along with the listed alternatives using a plural noun or determiner. Find the grammar-checking rule entry point and its existing tests, then verify that singular countable nouns without determiners are flagged while the grammatical alternatives are accepted.
