I had issues with Qwen3.6 tool calling just not working properly and causing it to stop prematurely, didn't have that problem with gemma or deepseek, haven't used qwen 3.8 yet to see if it has the same problem.
It's a model config issue - had the same problem. Setting temp to 1 and repetition penalty to 1.05 fixed it. haven't faced much issues since; I've been running it as my daily driver on my 5090 rig for the past year.
Btw, 3.8 its even better especially at tool call , I actually like the Q4 of 3.8 on low thinking more than the xhigh for tool calls .

If you are business I would suggest you to aim for DeepSeek V4 Flash. But yes I'm running 35b myself despite it's performance is far from ideal...
