I am SO impressed by this model! It's cheap as deepseek v4 flash, better than minimax m3 I would say, and almost a glm 5.2. 120b params only for such a good res

I am SO impressed by this model! It's cheap as deepseek v4 flash, better than minimax m3 I would say, and almost a glm 5.2. 120b params only for such a good result, with 258k context. This is amazing.
Yesterday I was making experiments running laguna xs 2.1 in my local machine (a smaller version), with a ryzen 5700x, 64 RAM and a 4060 ti 8gb nvidia
It was able to run locally with a context of 128k using llama-cpp and I tried using it for local development in a project that used uv, python, tool calls, file system explorations, websearches - all worked as a charm... in my own hardware
I was SO impressed. Then I saw open router is letting people try laguna S 2.1 for free - it's a model with 120b params and 258k context - if you top up at least 10 usd, it gives you 1000 requests per day for free so you can try it out. but the paid version is super cheap as well, specially the cache.
- alfiedotwtf 2mo agoYep! I loved Qwen 3.5 and 3.6, jumped to Minimax 2.5 and 2.7, but Laguna S2.1 feels like I have SOTA at home. We’re going to get to the point where the enormous size of models will not be able to keep being updated with the huge amount of content being generated online, and so I think a strong SOTA-esque thinking model with a good harness, fast web crawler, and large MCP capabilities will be the future tool of choice, rather than larger and larger static models (unless someone creates upgradable but compact embeddings)
