I need a model that gets stuck in loops.

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

A developer seeks a model that frequently gets stuck in loops (e.g., GLM Flash) to test loop detection and recovery features for an agent, aiming to develop heuristics that score loop probability and enable backtracking.

I am testing out some loop identification, protection & recovery features in our agent, and I am looking for a model that gets stuck in loops frequently. The worst I've seen recently is GLM Flash at low temperature and extreme quantization. If there is a model that loops perhaps 75% of the time in all kinds of ways, and calls tools well 25% of the time that would be ideal to set up a testing framework The goal is to be able to heuristically determine what a loop looks like and assign a score to the output with the probability that the model is in a loop so that the agent can find ways to backtrack and reprompt until the loop gets broken. What model do you think would give the best sample data?
