Qwen 3.8-27B Long Thinking Test: Fails to Finish Planning After 50k Tokens

LippyBumblebutt · reddit · 2026-08-17

A user reported performance issues with Qwen 3.8-27B's long thinking mode on a single RX9070 (Q3KS): it failed to finish the planning phase after 50k tokens for a simple CLI task, whereas the previous 3.6 version completed it easily. Adjusting reasoningeffort and KV quantization settings did not resolve the issue.
