Poolside’s Laguna S 2.1 118B release includes full eval trajectories, drawing praise
_lewtun · x · 2026-07-22
A researcher praises Poolside for publishing the full trajectories behind its evaluations, saying it is valuable for understanding how the scores were obtained and, in particular, how the system prompt affected MATH results.
The quote refers to Laguna S 2.1, a new 118B-parameter model. The author says this kind of transparency should become standard practice, because reproducing other vendors’ eval scores often costs a lot of time and GPU budget.
