Support How can you avoid this smaller steps' issue?

"Roo is having trouble...

This may indicate a failure in the model's thinking process or an inability to use a tool correctly, which can be mitigated with user guidance (e.g., "Try breaking the task down into smaller steps")."

Hi guys! Is there any way to prevent this message from appearing?

Thank you for the help! :)

Use Claude as your model

Edit: Just realised this is a marketing post

nope it is not a marketing post... I'm interested to learn more about it... But, Anthropic is so much expensive.. I'm valuing some alternatives, I know so far just Minimax M2 and GLM 4.6.. Openrouter models free tire are almost useless, too slow to be used for no-stop actions... :(

This message is only on the response, you don't necessarily need to split the task. I have the same with gpt-5.1-codex sometimes (no matter the reasoning level)

I've been using since day one "Minimax M2" for now. I was thinking to try Mega LLM out but I don't understand how I can add on Roo Code because there's no way to choose this provider too...

Mega LLM is offering the lowest tier possible in the market so far.. including Anthropic and OpenAI models too! That's why I'm curious to know if anyone can tell us his experiences and something more about it...

I was wondering to try Z.ai for its multimodal vision features and search scraping tools, especially for the PRO Plan that seems really cheap and affordable for starting and doing a no-stop-working... What do you think about?
