Background & analysis
On October 12, 2026, a user report appeared on Reddit's LocalLLaMA community describing an echo-repetition issue when running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next with a 500k context window on an AMD 7900 XTX. The user said they first ran the base version and later Swift-1.5 NVFP4 on a paid pod seat for about a month, at which point the model began answering with short strings that echoed its own earlier reasoning. They initially assumed the context had simply grown too large, but that turned out not to be the case.
According to the report, across almost 13,000 turns the echo appeared 266 times, and the more copies of the echo already present in context, the more likely the next turn was to produce it. The user identified the cause as the preserve_thinking: true setting, which fed prior reasoning back into every prompt; removing it made the problem disappear.
So far this is a single self-reported account from a Reddit user. There has been no vendor response and no independent verification from other sources, and the report stops at the point where the user removed the setting and the echo no longer occurred.

Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
