alt Hacker NewsI found Laguna S to be pretty good at coding, pretty fast, but pretty bad as an agent - not proactive, would frequently stubbornly argue things that weren't true, and pretty bad general knowledge.
But as a pure coding model, pretty good.
Deepseek v4 Flash 0731 is so much better if you can run it, though.
Grain of salt, I think I grabbed Laguna after they fixed the initial looping issues, didn't notice those, but there might've been other fixes since.

Yeah, this is my perspective too on Laguna S 2.1. Works amazingly for coding, pretty bad for pretty much anything else. I don't do a lot of advanced math, supposedly it's good for that too.
