Laguna S 2.1

Laguna S 2.1 has been Poolside’s third consecutive open coding model since July 2026, a MoE with 117.6 billion total and only 8.5 billion active parameters per token. The Linux Foundation’s OpenMDW-1.1 license permits free commercial use and modification. The model supports 1,024,000 tokens of context, interleaved thinking with tool calls within the chain of thought, and native tool calling for long-horizon agentic workflows.

Sovereign Risk: LOW Poolside is a US-based company. Publication under the open OpenMDW-1.1 license, hosted by the Linux Foundation, enables independent auditing, modification, and redistribution of the weights for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. With fully local deployment, any dependency on US cloud infrastructure is eliminated, resulting in a low risk rating.
