Reddit user says a chat-template tweak can force Laguna-S-2.1 into longer reasoning

A Reddit user says Laguna-S-2.1 often avoids reasoning on medium-hard questions, which hurts output quality.
They propose a simple chat-template tweak: when reasoning is enabled, insert a newline after the <think> tag so the model is effectively forced to think. In their tests at Q2 quantization, this produced much more verbose reasoning, from single-sentence explanations on greetings to tens of thousands of tokens on coding tasks.
