New model: poolside/Laguna-S-2.1

A new model has arrived: https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 from poolside, claimed to beat the current DS4-preview.

Very fast on local 56GB VRAM setup despite RAM offload (~30 tg/s) and ~370 tp/s making it a breeze in Tavern.

From the first impression, it's quite uncensored too, at least for roleplay. If you ask it right away to write a Stephen King-grade story (our famous "cannibal orgy" prompt) in OpenWebui, it will refuse (healthy boundaries, etc.), but in SillyTavern it's absolutely unhinged: describes orgies, swearing, explicit anatomy, etc with or without (default "Write the {{char}}'s next reply...") system prompt / jailbreak. Seems to follow my 20k tokens world rules preset too, with its cutscenes mechanic.

Looking forward to the abliterated version / control vectors for short stories, but for roleplay it's already awesome. Probably can serve as a same or better speed G4 replacement.
