No tool calling, and printing weird stuff

I downloaded this model and run it using oMLX and It can't perform a successful tool call ( Opencode, ZCode, Reasonix, all Of them ) , and sometimes it repeats itself even with the repetition penalty 1.1 , I feel that there is something I need to do can you point me to it ?
