I updated the strata to the latest version from v0.1.42.0, so I can try the latest unsloths models and see how they fare against the iq3_s variant I have been using. Upon updating it, I noticed it messed up the whole thing, It got faster, but it got way dumber! previously it would only take 15~30 minutes to create the pagoda , 50 mins to an hour if I used xhigh. But when I siwtched to the latest version, not only it takes at least an hour and half to come up with something, its not even done! and it has many issues! 0.1.42.0 is the last version that seems to work decently. I noticed, when im using the latest model, it always tries to go for something grandiose and failing. unlike the older version which seems to take a more modest path! whats going on? Do any of you have this problem? here are example outputs I did to make sure its not a one time thing! my prompt : 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. Add as many details as possible to showcase your attention to them. Use whatever libraries to get this done but make sure I can paste it all into a single HTML file. these are the outputs : 0.1.42.0 : xhigh: xhigh-1 xhigh2 xhigh3 xhigh4 default: default1 default2 default3 default4 the latest version created this after 1 hour and 32 minutes to only fail with excessive thinking: xhigh default(failed after 1 hour and 31 minites exausting all context size of 262K) As you can see, not only it takes way longer to create an output, if it doesn't fail already, the attention to details is also gone, everything is in haphazard form! I tried 4 5 times and the majority all failed because it couldn't create an output after an hour and a half or it constantly gets something wrong and tries to either fix it or goes to look at other things leaving the issues untouched! The model at least, the qwen3.8-Flash-Next-q3_s that I have been working with so far is not usable! it takes too long and it fails more by getting stuck at thinking forever! I used the new unsloth quant iq4_xs too and it was a mess as well. so I figured its the strata version. sadly I cant test the iq4_sx on 0.1.42.0 and I get an error. So if any of you faced this issue, can you kindly share with me what you do to fix this? what version does it work for you? I have RTX3080 10G/ 64G of RAM and I'm using the Linux terminal version along with deepseek harness. Thank you all in advance   submitted by   /u/Lime-Lemon-7582 [link]   [comments]
