User encounters DSv4 Flash model loop with llama.cpp Vulkan

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is experiencing a "doom loop" with the DSv4 Flash model when using the Q8 quantization with the llama.cpp Vulkan implementation. The model gets stuck in a repetitive output loop, failing to generate meaningful text. The user is seeking advice on whether they need to build the latest version from GitHub directly, as they are currently using an older version from AUR. They have provided their launch command and system specifications, which include dual 7900XTX GPUs with 48GB of VRAM, a 9800X3D CPU, and 192GB of RAM. AI
