Laguna S 2.1 model exhibits reasoning issues due to chat template configuration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on r/LocalLLaMA has identified an issue with the Laguna S 2.1 model where its reasoning phase is not functioning correctly. The problem appears to be related to the chat template, as disabling a specific setting, `preserve_thinking`, prevents reasoning entirely. While the development team has made recent updates to the chat template, the user suggests that the Qwen 27B chat template, when used with `llama.cpp`, enables reasoning for Laguna S 2.1, indicating a potential template configuration problem.
