I'd love to understand this more. Are you saying the Qwen team spends their very impressive human and compute resources on publishing these amazing models and then botches the chat template with mundane bugs?

Like maybe I just misunderstand what's the hard part but wouldn't you assume that people who can put together an impressive model can also write a proper jinja chat template for it?

Yes for the first question. Google of all companies didn't even get it right with Gemma for a while until recently. For some reason it doesn't seem like people can actually get these templates right.

Yes, I was fixing issues piecemeal until I found the froggeric template, I've had to fix I think one issues with that one but it's better.

Yes yes, oh god yes. They also spread FUD in the form of terrible recommended sampler settings.

If you're using llamacpp, turn on top-n-sigma with sigma of 1, turn off top-p/top-k. You'll thank me later.

How is terrible settings a case of FUD?

Interesting. Why don't the unsloth guides (https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.8) mention this? Do they already include the fixes in their GGUFs?
