Comment on: Muse Glimmer: 30B-parameter model optimized for always-on local agent workflows

I just downloaded the latest llama.cpp and poolside Q4 and within 10k tokens it corrupted "Use ~/p/kevincox.ca as a reference" into "kevinc.ai" and then starts doing stupid things because the directory "doesn't exist".In previous testing the Q8 was better but still had the same problem frequently enough to be very difficult to use. I don't know if it is a runner bug or model bug but at least with llama.cpp this seems to always happen and I haven't seen an issue like this with any other model.
