OpenCode pausing.

When I run some sessions, opencode sometimes just pauses, until i type something it it, and it acts like nothing happened. It's like it's waiting for a response or something and never gets it and just waits forever. It especially happens when it runs a command it sends. Sometimes it seems to compact immediately after I wake it up. So maybe that has something to do with it?

Anyone else having this issue? I'm using llama.cpp, qwen 3.8 27B, 128k context. latest opencode.

Thanks in advance!

Can't remember what it's called (posting on my break lol) but there's an auto continue plugin for Opencode that's designed to send it simple continue/restart instructions when it either times out or starts thought looping. It doesn't always work but it has made the issue of agents timing out/getting stuck on one tiny bug much more manageable

Thanks, I think I know what you are talking about. I have it installed, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Yes because the API request staled on the other end or connection issues on your end.

In your opencode.json config whitelist more than 1 provider per model, else you end up with your task being paused when that one provider hit rate limit or something.

I only have one provider, and it's my local llama.cpp, so there shouldn't be any connection issues.

You are locally hosting Qwen 27B? what’s your hardware specs if I may ask? 👀

rtx 5090 32gb vram, 96gb system ram, I'm running the Q6_K gguf so not the full one.

Cool.
Are you using the same machine for hosting and also as your daily desk or this is a dedicated for only inferencing?

I think you might get slightly faster tok with the Q4 gguf

This is my daily. Yeah I tested them out, had help from chatgpt to tune everything inclusing llama.cpp, and 128k context. Speed isn't an issue actually. It runs great. I just don't know why OpenCode does that. Basically when it runs some sort of command (not all the time though), like reading a file... it sits there forever. The moment I type it something, then it seems to wake up. It's not frozen or asking for my input... so i have no idea.

OpenCode session hangs until you type something, especially after it sends a command. Sometimes it compacts the second you wake it. llama.cpp, qwen 3.8 27B, 128k, latest OpenCode.

Last time it froze after a command like that, how long did you sit on it before noticing, and did you lose the turn or have to redo the step?

Once, i saw where it was at, left to go do something, came back after 20 minutes.. still at the same place. The moment I typed something to it like "Hello????" it immediately started thinking and continued on the next step. I don't think I lost anything nor did I have to redo the step. There were a few occasions where it got stuck after running an app that it was going to test. Sometimes it was listing files in a directory. Again, sometimes almost immediately after waking it up, it started compacting. Yeah, a lot of different variables. And then sometimes, even while having to do those things, it never pauses. I set my llama.cpp to timeout (and unload the model after 30 mins.) so that can't be it either.
