    This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

    • #45533: GLM-5.3-Flash produces endless ! characters in thinking, the same visible symptom.
    • #25129: Thinking mode gets stuck repeating ! or other characters indefinitely.

    Thanks for the report. I couldn't reproduce this here: the !!!!! output is what NVIDIA NIM's servers return for Kimi K3, and checking that needs a real NVIDIA API key, which this sandbox doesn't have. A maintainer with NVIDIA access will need to look at it.

    Two things would help narrow it down:

    • Does it also happen with thinking set to a lower level or turned off for Kimi K3?
    • Do other NVIDIA models (for example Kimi K2.6) work normally for you?

    Looking at the code, Kimi K3 on NVIDIA currently gets the generic reasoning-effort settings rather than the Kimi-specific thinking setting OpenCode sends for Kimi K2.6. That could be related, but it isn't confirmed yet.
