Sentdex · x · 2026-07-26
Sentdex says he finally got Poolside’s Laguna S 2.1 running in NVFP4 and has begun benchmarking it.
- The model is only 72GB, which he calls compelling.
- He expects it may perform worse than DSV4F native, but it needs less than half the memory.
- He still needs to squeeze more tokens/sec out of it before judging how smart it really is.
