Laguna S 2.1 underwhelms in first coding tests
The poster says they tested Laguna S 2.1 — a 118B MoE model with 8B active parameters from Poolside — on both frontend and backend coding tasks, and found the results far below expectations for a model of that size.
- Even with the OpenCode harness, the model repeatedly stopped mid-generation.
- It often failed to finish tasks unless prompted multiple times.
- The tester’s overall conclusion: it did not perform like a 120B model should.
