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.
