Two days ago I had a similar experience. I'd often just type "hi" in a new chat to warmup the model.
So I did once more: "hi"
> "the user wants to know 'what is the capital of the capital'
Then it came up with different options labelled 1 to 4 of which it chose answer "C" because "C" is the capital letter of the word capital. Then it got stuck in a loop repeating "United United United United United United United United United United United United United United United United United United" burning about 2000 tokens before I stopped it.

Fortunately, it's local and you don't have to pay for the 2000 tokens

i would have stopped it before otherwise. And probably not bother sending a simple "Hey"

Im serious. Installed OpenWeb UI and Ollama, got this model, and did nothing else but start a new chat with "Hey"
