I did some testing with the new Gemini model on some OCR tasks recently. One of the failures was it just getting stuck and repeating the same character sequence ad-infinitum until timing out. It's a great failure mode when you charge by the token :D
I've seen similar things with claude and OCR with low temperature. Higher temperature, 0.8, resolved it for me. But I was using low temp for reproducibility so
