Local inference devs grapple with models breaking their own CoT on streamed tokens
SilentMobius · reddit · 2026-11-03
A developer modifying llama.cpp and Strata for local models (Q38FN, Q3827B, DS41F) reports a shared pain point: streamed tokens like <\think> generated by the model itself can break it out of its chain-of-thought or terminate the turn, and there's no formal protection mechanism for such self-generated control tokens. The post asks local inference server developers how they safeguard models from their own internal tokens.
