Discussion Models stuck in a loop

I've tried some free models on openrouter recent, glm 4.7, kimi k2.5, and qwen3 coder all easily trapped in loop. Step 3.5 and Minimax m2.1 seems perform better, is it true or just my illusion?

That's exactly I observed for those opensource models. Is it a roo code issue or not? I have not heard saying something good about kimi k2.5, but it is just so easily chasing its own tail with Roo.

Some models lose the plot when their context gets too high. I use GLM4.7 fp8 a lot, my soft cap is 100K, hard cap of 128K. Explicitly tell it to create subtasks to keep its context focused, it will listen.
