## Summary

Three Jinja chat templates for the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next model, intended for use with llama.cpp, include a Sharp‑naze‑chattemplatev1.4.jinja file that adds a terseness block from Sharp v22.5.0. The block instructs the model to skip preambles and filler, keeping all steps and uncertainties. The default effort remains xhigh, and terseness is on by default but can be disabled via chattemplatekwargs or the server flag --chat-template-kwargs '{"terse":false}'.

The author notes that the templates were tested against 158 assertions in jinja2 and 16/16 cases in llama.cpp, with no changes to the base prompt. The Sharp variant improved edit‑format compliance from 77% to 46% on a fine‑tuned Qwen model. The post also lists fixes that address developer role merging, reasoning effort mapping, and clearer tool‑call errors. The base template is credited to Unsloth, with additional ideas from froggeric and peculiar‑ragdoll.
