alt Hacker NewsIt's a lot smaller, and runs (quantized) on a 3090 quite well. Ds4 flash 0731 you're talking about? It's great but it's much harder to run locally.

Are you talking about S or XS? S is too large for a 3090 at 118b parameters.
I found Laguna S to be pretty good at coding, pretty fast, but pretty bad as an agent - not proactive, would frequently stubbornly argue things that weren't true, and pretty bad general knowledge.
But as a pure coding model, pretty good.
Deepseek v4 Flash 0731 is so much better if you can run it, though.
Grain of salt, I think I grabbed Laguna after they fixed the initial looping issues, didn't notice those, but there might've been other fixes since.
