Laguna S 2.1 is American and seems to be on par (or better) than DeepSeek v4, is only 110B, and it's faster! Weird there's not much talk about it vs other models.

It’s failed every single time I’ve tried, and yes I’ve tried all the auto-compaction extensions :( So unless it’s been fixed or someone knows a work around, Pi is DOA - I’ve found …

Yep! 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…

Also, that all models going forward target the base prosumer class ie today = Strix Halo

Sorry, I’m lost after looking at that page. Can you explain your comment?

That was a wild ride!

Awesome, thanks! Edit: it amazes me how fast ik_llama.cpp moves

Anyone else feel like this is pushing shit up a hill?

Nice! Do you know of any tools that do this for tensorrt models?

Anyone know if this is supported in ik_llama.cpp?

Everyone in the comments so hopeful, but here’s the reality - nothing will happen, they’ll get more money from more local governments signing up, and industry groups that have prob…

Weird this is currently #1 on the front page.

Citing semi-sync thinking everything would be automatic was a weird con against MySQL. I’m now trying to think how the hell other databases magically solve this without needing to …

Yep. In 2026 I’m still hearing that MySQL is terrible because of MyISAM
