Users report tool-call failures and looping in Qwen3.6-27B
A Reddit user reports persistent tool-call failures and looping behavior when using Qwen3.6-27B as a local model. The user describes needing constant monitoring to prevent the model from entering infinite loops or hallucinating tool calls, and has developed an extensible workaround to mitigate these issues.

User seeks help tuning llama-server cache on Strix Halo for Qwen 3.5 122B
A user on Reddit reports performance issues with large models (e.g., Qwen 3.5 122B) on a Strix Halo system, where a full cache miss at 100k context causes 10-20 minutes of prompt processing time. They have configured --cache-ram 16384 to increase available VRAM for cache, but seek further tuning advice.
User reports issues loading large MoE models after adding second RTX 3060
A user with dual RTX 3060 GPUs found that large MoE models like Qwen3.5-122B-A10B fail to load, while dense models work. After troubleshooting, they discovered that limiting VRAM usage to 12 layers allows the 122B model to load, and a PC restart plus GPU priority adjustment fixed the 35B model.
Developer open-sources agent-instructions repo to curb AI coding agent degradation
A developer frustrated by AI coding agents losing context and hallucinating after about 10 minutes created a set of rules to keep them on track. The rules, shared as an open-source GitHub repo, aim to reduce the need for constant reminders and prevent infinite loops. The project has gained attention from other developers facing similar issues.
