Compared to the last Deepseek V4 Flash version I've had tons of issues with it getting in infinite loops and talking to itself without executing tool calls, wasting tons of tokens

This is on Pi agent, nothing fancy at all about my prompts or use case. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've also had it randomly go from talking about Rust to talking about the electric chair, controversies about D&D rules (both irrelevant and something I've never discussed) and it's completely blind to it in future prompts even when its pointed out and referenced directly

All this said its still worth it but the agentic performance has degraded in my experience at least

I've been using for work, from opencode $10/mo subscription plan, on high effort (which is better than max imo), and haven't had any issue.

When it was first available in opencode, it was kinda slow for me, I guess because everyone wanted to try the new shiny. But now it's back to being screamingly fast and Opus 4.8 level of smart, for penies.

Yeah, I saw the same thing - quite annoying. It can be mitigated through the prompt.
