AI coding company Poolside has released Laguna S 2.1. The model has 118B total parameters with 8B active per token, making it compact enough to run on a single NVIDIA DGX Spark.
The company highlighted that Laguna S 2.1 exhibits remarkable persistence across long-horizon agentic coding tasks, doing the work of models several times its size. During its release benchmarks, the team directly compared the 118B model against 1T+ flagship models and beat them, aiming to redefine capability limits for its weight class.
