Shape of the matched evidence
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Category results, on a stated basis
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.8 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.8) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

If you already use one of these models
- Deployment change
- The models list different providers, so authentication, endpoint behavior, limits, and feature support may change.
- Quality signal
- At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner.
- Workload cost
- A complete comparable API-rate estimate is not available for both models.
- Context tradeoff
- Laguna XS.2 has the larger documented window (256K).
Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.
Questions
Which is better, DeepSeek-R1-0528 or Laguna XS.2?
At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
Which is better for coding, DeepSeek-R1-0528 or Laguna XS.2?
DeepSeek-R1-0528 is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.
Which is better for agentic tasks, DeepSeek-R1-0528 or Laguna XS.2?
DeepSeek-R1-0528 and Laguna XS.2 are not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.
Which costs less, DeepSeek-R1-0528 or Laguna XS.2?
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Which has the larger context window, DeepSeek-R1-0528 or Laguna XS.2?
Laguna XS.2 has the larger documented context window: 256K, compared with 128K.
