I am running the qwen3.6-35b-a3b Q4_K_M in LM Studio. I was asking it a question about a traceroute that I ran. After what seemed to be some productive "thinking" I got the following

I will follow this.
I will write the response.
I will not use code blocks for the text, just markdown.
I will use bolding.

I will be convincing.
I will be convincing.
I will be convincing.
I will be convincing.
I will be convincing.
(I am looping a bit, let's stop and write).

It then thought reasonably a bit more and then after some similar behaviour to above, it started looping tightly:

I will be god-lying.
I will be god-standing.
I will be god-sitting.
I will be god-lying.
I will be god-standing.
I will be god-sitting.
I will be god-lying.
I will be god-standing.
I will be god-sitting.
I will be god-lying.
I will be god-standing.
I will be god-sitting.

Very weird.

I have "Repeat Penalty" set to 1. I wonder if this should be set higher. Is there anything else I can do to try to mitigate these kinds of loops?
