llama.cpp Outperforms Alternative Engine on Long-Form Reasoning

A user on r/LocalLLaMA found that the same IQ3_S model produces coherent output in llama.cpp but degrades into repetitive loops after roughly 10k tokens in another engine. This highlights how much the inference framework affects long-form generation stability for local LLMs.
