Strange behavior in new 3B thinking model

I've recently been testing a newly released model called Edge-LM (It's on Ollama, you can use it on there if u want). So it all started with this. I asked it a complex math question, and in it's CoT, it started dropping things like: "Let me try this solution and see if it returns something useful. " Seems kinda normal for a reasoning/thinking model right? Well then in another prompt, it was reasoning through a complex word problem when it said this: "Perhaps there is a clever or intuitive step that I'm missing?" There was a trick.
