Laguna S 2.1:118B-a9B better than Qwen3.5:122B-a10B? So far, yes

2•spottedmarley•8h ago
I just found out about this new American (San Francisco) model today and I'm currently benchmarking it and, so far, it is outperforming my standard go-to model Qwen3.5:122b and even Sonnet in my benchmarking test. It's personality is much better than Qwen and it is more naturally creative when it is designing UIs. I have about 6 more tests to go though.

If you're interested you can look at my benchmark dashboard here: https://spottedmarley.com/arena/
