Is it just me or is Qwen3.8-Flash-Next ... really buggy?

qwen3-flash-next hallucination quantization bug-report community-query

Summary

A user questions if others have noticed hallucinations and weird reasoning with the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next model on Mac, reporting issues with AppImage installation and tensor metadata from HuggingFace despite high quantization levels.

I mean, this is on a Mac, why is a 8 years old Ubuntu AppImage being halu-installed...? And this message is in the middle of pulling some tensor metadata from HF. Never even heard of OpenD before this ... totally hallucinated stuff. And this is not a low quant - it's a 5bpw quant, with Q4 the lowest of any tensors. EDIT: I'm not looking for a solution -> I'm genuinely asking if other people have noticed hallucinations and weird reasoning.
