Antirez says Laguna S2.1 is completely unable to write correct Italian, even though much smaller models handle the task well.
He says this is a red flag for the model, notes the issue is tied to specialization, and adds that he verified the behavior through the official API via OpenRouter after seeing it with Q4 quants.
