Qwen3.8-27B shows a weird write-delete loop in /tmp before every web research task
Training-Respect8066 · reddit · 2026-10-17
A Reddit user running Qwen3.8-27B locally with custom CLI tools (no MCP) reports a consistent quirk: on web research tasks the model repeatedly writes and deletes a file like /tmp/x before finally calling the right tool. The behavior doesn't appear in other CLI tasks. The user's webfetch tool runs a real browser to render dynamic content, and they're asking for workarounds.
