🤖Laguna S 2.1: 8B Activated Parameters in Under Nine Weeks

Tiny but mighty: Laguna S 2.1 packs a punch

TL;DR

Laguna S 2.1, an 8B activated parameter model, launches with impressive performance on coding benchmarks despite its size. Its compact nature makes it ideal for local machine tasks.

Laguna S 2.1, a 118B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, is now live after just nine weeks of training. It boasts an impressive 70.2% score on Terminal-Bench 2.1 in thinking mode and holds its own against much larger models on long-horizon coding tasks. The model's small size makes it uniquely suitable for complex work on local machines without sacrificing performance, making it a standout choice for developers with limited resources or bandwidth constraints.
