GGUF quantizations of llmfan46/Laguna-S-2.1-Uncensored-Heretic

This is a decensored version of poolside/Laguna-S-2.1, made using Heretic

Performance

Metric This model Original model (Qwen3-Coder-Next)
KL divergence 0.0300 0 (by definition)
Refusals βœ… 6/100 ❌ 97/100

Lower refusals indicate fewer content restrictions, while lower KL divergence indicates more closeness to the original model's baseline. Higher refusals cause more rejections, objections, pushbacks, lecturing, censorship, softening and deflections.

A Vision Projector File is Required for vision/multimodal capabilities. Use alongside any quantization above.

Usage

Works with llama.cpp, LM Studio, Ollama, and other GGUF-compatible tools.

Vision support (experimental)

This repo includes two multimodal projector files built from numinousmuses/laguna-s-2.1-vision (frozen Qwen3-VL vision tower + a 35.4M-parameter trained projector, MIT β€” all credit to its author). Either works with any text quant in this repo; use F16 if your backend has trouble with BF16 (e.g. Vulkan or older builds):

llama-server -m Laguna-S-2.1-Uncensored-Heretic-Q6_K.gguf \
  --mmproj Laguna-S-2.1-Uncensored-Heretic-mmproj-BF16.gguf -ngl 99 --jinja

No extra flags or template overrides are needed β€” these GGUFs embed a chat template tuned for llama.cpp/LM Studio multimodal use (images are rendered before the question text, matching the projector's training order).

Vision works, but this is a grafted projector, not a natively-trained VLM β€” set your expectations:

  • Reliable: image attached in the first message of a conversation, short factual questions ("What does the sign say?", "What animal is this?"), low temperature (≀ 0.3) for vision turns.
  • Best-effort: images added mid-conversation. The model may answer tersely ("Answer: X"), misidentify the subject, or occasionally ignore the image β€” regenerate, or start a fresh chat with the image first for anything that matters.
  • Weak by design (per the upstream projector's training: 2,070 steps of short-form VQA, single-turn, no chat template): long detailed descriptions, trick/false-premise questions (hallucination-prone), and fine print β€” add --image-min-tokens 1024 for document images.
  • The projector was trained against stock Laguna-S-2.1; this repo pairs it with an abliterated backbone, so vision quality may sit slightly below the upstream author's published benchmarks.

Laguna S 2.1

Laguna S 2.1 is a 118B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 8B activated parameters per token, designed for agentic coding and long-horizon work. It sits between Laguna XS 2.1 (33B-A3B) and Laguna M.1 (225B-A23B) in the Laguna series and shares the family recipe: a token-choice router with softplus gating over 256 routed experts plus one shared expert, grouped-query attention, and interleaved full/sliding-window attention.

Highlights

  • Mixed SWA and global attention layout: 48 layers in a 1:3 global-to-SWA ratio (12 global attention layers, 36 sliding-window layers, window 512), with softplus attention gating and per-layer-type rotary scales
  • 1M context: 1,048,576-token context window
  • Native reasoning support: interleaved thinking between tool calls, with per-request control via enable_thinking
  • Speculative decoding: a trained DFlash draft model is available for lower-latency serving
  • Quantized variants: FP8, NVFP4, INT4 and GGUF
  • OpenMDW-1.1 license: Use and modify the model and associated materials freely for commercial and non-commercial purposes (learn more about OpenMDW)

Model overview

  • Number of parameters: 118B total, ~8B activated per token
  • Layers: 48 (12 global attention, 36 sliding-window attention)
  • Experts: 256 routed (top-10) plus 1 shared expert
  • Attention: grouped-query, 8 KV heads, head dim 128; per-head softplus output gating
  • Sliding window: 512 tokens
  • Context window: 1,048,576 tokens
  • Vocabulary: 100,352 tokens (Laguna family tokenizer)
  • Modality: text-to-text
  • Reasoning: interleaved thinking with preserved thinking

Benchmarks as of 21 July 2026. Laguna S 2.1 in bold; a dash (-) marks a benchmark a model was not evaluated on. Scores marked * are as reported by third parties: Terminal-Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE via Artificial Analysis, SWE Atlas via Scale AI's official leaderboard, and Toolathlon Verified via its official leaderboard. Full evaluation trajectories: trajectories.poolside.ai.

Usage

Laguna S 2.1 uses the same laguna architecture as Laguna XS 2.1, so the same engine integrations apply (vLLM, SGLang, Transformers, TRT-LLM, llama.cpp). At 118B parameters the BF16 checkpoint needs multiple GPUs (roughly 236GB of weights); quantized variants reduce this substantially.

vLLM

vllm serve \
    --model poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
    --tool-call-parser poolside_v1 \
    --reasoning-parser poolside_v1 \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice \
    --served-model-name laguna \
    --default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": true}'

Optional: speculative decoding with DFlash. Pair with the Laguna S 2.1 DFlash draft model by adding --speculative-config '{"model":"poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-DFlash","num_speculative_tokens":7,"method":"dflash"}'.

SGLang

python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 \
  --tp-size 4 \
  --reasoning-parser poolside_v1 \
  --tool-call-parser poolside_v1 \
  --trust-remote-code

TRT-LLM

trtllm-serve poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 --trust-remote-code \
    --tool_parser poolside_v1 --reasoning_parser laguna

Note the flag names differ from vLLM's (--tool_parser, and the reasoning parser is laguna, not poolside_v1).

llama.cpp

GGUF conversions are available at poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-GGUF. Serve with poolside's llama.cpp fork, branch laguna, which carries full Laguna support including DFlash speculative decoding. (Base Laguna support is also in upstream review: ggml-org/llama.cpp#25165.)

git clone --branch laguna https://github.com/poolsideai/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp && cmake -B build && cmake --build build -j

./build/bin/llama-server -m laguna-s-2.1-Q4_K_M.gguf --jinja --port 8000

# with DFlash speculative decoding:
./build/bin/llama-server -m laguna-s-2.1-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  -md laguna-s-2.1-DFlash-BF16.gguf \
  --spec-type draft-dflash --spec-draft-n-max 7 -fa on --jinja --port 8000

Ollama

Run directly from the Ollama library:

ollama run laguna-s-2.1

Quantization variants are available as tags (q4_K_M, q8_0, f16, mxfp8, nvfp4, mlx-bf16), for example ollama run laguna-s-2.1:q8_0. The Laguna chat template is baked into the model, so tool-calling and interleaved reasoning work automatically.

Controlling reasoning

Laguna S 2.1 has native reasoning support and works best with preserved thinking: keep reasoning_content from prior assistant messages in the message history. The model will generally reason before calling tools and between tool calls, and may stop reasoning in follow-up steps if prior thinking blocks are dropped.

Thinking is controlled per request via the chat template:

extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": False}}

or at the server level with --default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": true}'. For agentic coding use cases we recommend enabling thinking and preserving reasoning in the message history.

Intended and Responsible Use

Laguna S 2.1 is designed for software engineering and agentic coding use cases, and you are responsible for confirming that it is appropriate for your intended application. Laguna S 2.1 is subject to the OpenMDW-1.1 License, and should be used consistently with Poolside's Acceptable Use Policy. We advise against circumventing Laguna S 2.1 safety guardrails without implementing substantially equivalent mitigations appropriate for your use case.
