Poolside says Laguna S 2.1 is out now, with 118B total parameters and 8B active per token.
- The company says it outperforms models several times larger on agentic coding and stays persistent on long-horizon tasks.
- It is small enough, according to Poolside, to run on a single NVIDIA DGX Spark.
- The release is framed as a bigger statement about commoditizing intelligence, not just a new model drop.
