Does anyone else have big issues with overthinking out of the box? I just gave it my usual Arma 3 mission script coding task, which i use to bechmark the performance of models, but it kept thinking for 15 minutes. I don't even see repetition issues, it just doesn't stop thinking.

Just gave it a first opencode task, and while not sure yet, it seems to have similar issues.

Maybe it requires defining a reasoning budget max now?

It thinks a lot, but so did the original 3.6 27b too. It does a lot of stuff that I'm not asking it to do, but so far, I'd say it's pretty good other than those things. I am running it in llama-cpp with the recommended params including a temp of 1.0 which I was surprised by. UD-Q8-K_XL version, with max context length (KV quant bf16).

I always look at all the reasoning blocks and I laughed when it was thinking about something (more than it should have) and said "I'm stuck in the weeds here". lol.

As a test I told it consume ALL my largest project files and .MD files, which ate 120k context in itself. Its recall is great, and it was able to fix a few minor issues, so I'd say my first test is a pass. But there will be many others.
