lengthy reasoning without conclusion
"Design and create a very creative, elaborate, and detailed voxel art scene of a pagoda in a beautiful garden with trees, including some cherry blossoms. Make the scene impressive and varied and use colorful voxels. Use whatever libraries to get this done, but make sure I can paste it all into a single HTML file and open it in Chrome."
This prompt takes hours to execute, but it doesn't produce any results. I've tried it with many Q6 and Q8 variants and various agent software, but the result remains the same. The temperature and other settings are as described in the instructions. The model racks its brains for hours, but there's no result. I don't understand where I might be making a mistake, what might I be overlooking?
This is exactly what I'm talking about in this post, using mathematics to explain what exactly is wrong with this model: https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B/discussions/76
