Qwen3.8 Locally Loops on Design Talk Instead of Writing Code, 16GB VRAM User Seeks Fix
mintybadgerme · reddit · 2026-10-06
Reddit user mintybadgerme reports that Qwen3.8 running locally (16GB VRAM, Pi, a couple of IQ3 quants) keeps repeating design decisions and project structure instead of actually writing code to the project folder — it writes a bit on screen but never to disk, and ignores demands to comply. The post asks the community for hints on forcing the model to write code.
