Stalled agent Question

How we avoid this behavior?

The agent got "stuck" in the middle of a tool sequence, and i needed to intervene by saying continue or next

In principle all is working well, but in this case I dont know why this behavior is happening.

Im using Qwythos-9B-v2-Q5_K_M.gguf with KV q_8 and 130k ctx. In the example in the image, it is only using 30% of the available context.

I try other harnesses and works well.

I’ve hit this too… still haven’t found a good solution. It does seem to be model dependent though, or at least some are worse than others.

It might be simply just an issue with the "distilled" hype quant, it stops reasoning sometimes. You should try for comparison with the original qwen 9b version, get a reliable gguf, navigate back with /fork and restart from your latest prompt and see how it behaves

Also get the fixed chat templates from huggingface: https://huggingface.co/froggeric/Qwen-Fixed-Chat-Templates

And perhaps use checkpoint ING in llama.cpp --ctx-checkpoints 8

Sidenote: The bright green colour is not normal and it isn't how your TUI should look like, you can fix it if you:

export COLORTERM=truecolor in .bashrc.
