- Poolside announced Laguna S 2.1, a model with 118B total parameters and 8B active per token.
- The company says it performs well on agentic coding, can run on a single NVIDIA DGX Spark, and is unusually persistent on long-horizon tasks.
- A follow-up test in cyber-security environments found it finished tasks in under 20 minutes, while Kimi took nearly 3× longer.
- The tester noted accuracy trailed Kimi, but Laguna still did surprisingly well under strict verifiers, with finance environments to be tested next.
