Sudden stops in the middle of response
Greetings,
Serving this model at 2x MI50 at q4 and encountering sudden stops. Model just refuses to work (like it found eof token) until I will type "continue" (or something like that) as a user-prompt.
It might be due to my llama fork for gfx906 arch, but I haven't seen this behavior with other models before.
Using recommended Qwen3.6-35B-A3B launch params
EDIT (26/09/2026): Used Empero launch params; off. Qwen params; tried to change them by myself - nothing. Issue still persists
In my case it stops with one sentence after the initial prompt: "User wants me to do something". And that's all. Removed from the disk after a few tries. Qwen3.6-35B-A3B works fine.
The same issue. it stops in a middle of automation.... sometimes even at beginning.
