Laguna S 2.1 users debate whether low-precision quantization is hurting reasoning

burritoresearch · reddit · 2026-07-24

Users are comparing Laguna S 2.1 under different quantization levels and saying the model can feel “stupid” if it is not run at high enough precision.

The poster says the model fits in RAM at Q8 and seems to beat Qwen 3.5 122B-A10B Q8 on some tasks, while recent complaints about degraded reasoning may simply be caused by overly aggressive quantization.
