Thinking turns off or shortens per request. It has no published safety results and no documented JSON mode.\n\n**Laguna S 2.1.** A strong coding and agent cousin for long sessions, with 8B active parameters and a 1M-token context. At 4-bit it needs a 96 to 128 GB machine, tight on a 128 GB one. The main risks are that nobody at Poolside answers its many reports, there are no safety results, and a build card misdescribes its file.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Granite 4.2 3B\n\n1. Start it with `ollama run granite4.2:3b`; set options.num_ctx in the request, since Ollama's default context is short and the model takes up to 131,072\n2. With vLLM 0.32.0 or later, serve `ibm-granite/granite-4.2-3b` with `--reasoning-parser granite_thinking_parser --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder --enable-auto-tool-choice`; that release has the parser built in, so the card's `--reasoning-parser-plugin ./granite_thinking_parser.py` isn't needed\n3. With SGLang 0.5.18 or later, `--reasoning-parser auto --tool-call-parser auto` resolve to IBM's recommended parsers, and the reasoning comes back in reasoning_content\n4. Use temperature 1.0 and top_p 0.95 for every mode, as IBM requires\n5. Pass `enable_thinking` false for direct answers or `low_effort` true for short reasoning, through chat_template_kwargs on an OpenAI-compatible server\n6. Earlier turns' thinking is stripped by default (`truncate_history_thinking`), so pass it false to keep reasoning in multi-turn history\n7. For JSON, use the runtime's guided decoding, since IBM documents no JSON mode for 4.2\n8. Verify the files with `python -m model_signing verify sigstore` and IBM's identity, per IBM's signature guide\n\n### Laguna S 2.1\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run laguna-s-2.1`, 96 GB for the default Q4_K_M, or the 66 GB nvfp4 tag on Apple Silicon\n2. On our reference machine try `llama-server -hf poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 65536`, from a llama.cpp release with the laguna architecture (b11772 has it). The 96 GB file leaves little room for context in 107.4 GB\n3. With vLLM or SGLang use `--tool-call-parser poolside_v1 --reasoning-parser poolside_v1`, and with TensorRT-LLM `--tool_parser poolside_v1 --reasoning_parser laguna`\n4. Thinking is on by default in the template, pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false to turn it off, and keep `reasoning_content` from earlier turns\n5. The GGUFs ship set to 262,144 tokens. For 1M with llama.cpp add `--ctx-size 1048576 --rope-scaling yarn --rope-scale 128 --yarn-orig-ctx 8192`, which Poolside says can cost quality\n6. Sampling per the generation config is temperature 1.0 and top_k 20, and Poolside suggests temperature 0.7 and top_p 0.95 at 1M\n7. Expect occasional tool-schema slips in harnesses unlike Poolside's own, and validate JSON arguments, which Poolside lists as known limitations\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Granite 4.2 3B or Laguna S 2.1?\n\nLaguna S 2.1 scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against Granite 4.2 3B's 59.8 (C), and leads in 0 of 4 scored categories.
