AI Agent Testing Seeks Models Prone to Looping

A user on Reddit is seeking a large language model that frequently gets stuck in repetitive loops to aid in testing loop identification and recovery features for an AI agent. The ideal model would loop approximately 75% of the time while still performing tool calls effectively 25% of the time. The user aims to develop a system that can score outputs for loop probability, enabling the agent to backtrack and reprompt until the loop is resolved. They are looking for recommendations on which model would provide the best sample data for this testing framework. AI

IMPACT Identifies a niche need for models exhibiting specific failure modes to improve AI agent robustness.

RANK_REASON User is seeking a specific model behavior for tool development, not a general release or research finding.
