Poolside releases Laguna M.1 and open-weight XS.2. Poolside released the first two models in its Laguna family on April 28: a 225B-parameter flagship called M.1 and an open-weight 33B model called XS.2 under Apache 2.0. Both are pitched at agentic, long-horizon coding work. Poolside released the first two models in its Laguna family on April 28: a 225B-parameter flagship called M.1 and an open-weight 33B model called XS.2 under Apache 2.0. Both are pitched at agentic, long-horizon coding work, and both ship alongside Pool, the agent runtime Poolside uses internally for training and evaluation. What happened. Laguna M.1 is a 225B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 23B active parameters, trained on 30 trillion tokens across 6,144 NVIDIA Hopper GPUs. It scores 46.9% on SWE-bench Pro and 40.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. Laguna XS.2 is a much smaller MoE at 33B total / 3B active, also trained on 30T tokens, hitting 44.5% on SWE-bench Pro and 30.1% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. The notable detail: XS.2's score on SWE-bench Pro is within two points of the flagship while running at roughly an eighth the active parameter budget. Why it matters. Open-weight coding models from a frontier lab are still rare. DeepSeek V4 remains the most cited example, and Qwen has its own line, but Apache 2.0 from a Western coding-focused lab is a different signal. It means XS.2 can be embedded in...
