Poolside's open-weight model for agentic coding and long-horizon work.

July 21, 2026 inference / performance / NVIDIA / AMD / TPU / Intel / Apple / Metal / poolside / laguna

In close collaboration with Poolside, we’re happy to announce the support of Laguna S 2.1, their new open-weight model for agentic coding and long-horizon work.

It is a 118B total parameters Mixture-of-Experts model with 8B activated parameters per token and supports a context window of up to 1M tokens, available in thinking and no-thinking modes.

And it’s available today in ZML/LLMD with DFlash support. Most importantly (and as always with us), it’s available on all the supported platforms: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Google TPU and Apple Metal.
