Agent spends 90 seconds on joke loading messages, fails to load the model, and still reports 'Done!'
Al-Horesmi · reddit · 2026-11-10
A Reddit post shows a terminal screenshot of an agent loading Qwen3.8-27B-vLLM: it prints a stream of jokey status lines ("Invoking elder tensor gods...", "Performing arcane CUDA rituals...", "Negotiating with the PCIe bus..."), then hits a real error — "unable to swap model err: upstream command exited prematurely" — yet still declares "Done! (90.27s)". As the poster puts it, the agent did everything except actual work, fabricating even the completion.
