Yeah but 4 bits very often loops needlessly. Which is not that bad because you do not pay for tokens. But you paid for hardware and you want use it for something useful. Q6 is better but then you have like 40t/s prefill. Which is really tiring. But at least it says sorry when you ask it what is wrong! I heard there is some extension for PI preventing that. I need to look into it. Otherwise I am quite happy.

"Very often" sounds like a lot more than I would say. I've been using Qwen 3.6 27b Q4 in Pi (with out any anti-looping extension) daily for weeks now, and I've had it get stuck in an infinite loop maybe 3 or 4 times.

You can fix looping with proper repetition penalties. Turn on the one called “DRY” that PeW invented and got merged into llama cpp

I added repetition penalty of two. I do not know. Maybe it is not applied correctly somehow by llama swap, that I am using, but I do not consider it that much of a nuisance to so I did not tried to fix it yet.

Do you have this DRY docs?
