94% fewer refusals (6/100 Uncensored vs 97/100 Original) while preserving model quality (0.0300 KL divergence).

❤️ Support My Work

Creating these models takes significant time, work and compute. If you find them useful consider supporting me:

Your help will motivate me and would go into further improving my workflow and coverings fees for storage, compute and may even help uncensoring bigger model with rental Cloud GPUs.

This is a decensored version of poolside/Laguna-S-2.1, made using Heretic

Performance

Lower refusals indicate fewer content restrictions, while lower KL divergence indicates more closeness to the original model's baseline. Higher refusals cause more rejections, objections, pushbacks, lecturing, censorship, softening and deflections.

Laguna S 2.1

Laguna S 2.1 is a 118B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 8B activated
parameters per token, designed for agentic coding and long-horizon work. It sits
between Laguna XS 2.1 (33B-A3B) and
Laguna M.1 (225B-A23B) in the Laguna series and shares the family recipe: a
token-choice router with softplus gating over 256 routed experts plus one shared
expert, grouped-query attention, and interleaved full/sliding-window attention.

Highlights

• Mixed SWA and global attention layout: 48 layers in a 1:3 global-to-SWA ratio
  (12 global attention layers, 36 sliding-window layers, window 512), with softplus
  attention gating and per-layer-type rotary scales
• 1M context: 1,048,576-token context window
• Native reasoning support: interleaved thinking between tool calls, with
  per-request control via enable_thinking
• Speculative decoding: a trained
  DFlash draft model is available
  for lower-latency serving
• Quantized variants:
  FP8,
  NVFP4,
  INT4 and
  GGUF
• OpenMDW-1.1 license: Use and modify the model and associated materials freely
  for commercial and non-commercial purposes
  (learn more about OpenMDW)

Model overview

• Number of parameters: 118B total, ~8B activated per token
• Layers: 48 (12 global attention, 36 sliding-window attention)
• Experts: 256 routed (top-10) plus 1 shared expert
• Attention: grouped-query, 8 KV heads, head dim 128; per-head softplus output gating
• Sliding window: 512 tokens
• Context window: 1,048,576 tokens
• Vocabulary: 100,352 tokens (Laguna family tokenizer)
• Modality: text-to-text
• Reasoning: interleaved thinking with preserved thinking

Benchmark results

Benchmarks as of 21 July 2026. Laguna S 2.1 in bold; a dash (-) marks a benchmark a model was not evaluated on. Scores marked * are as reported by third parties: Terminal-Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE via Artificial Analysis, SWE Atlas via Scale AI's official leaderboard, and Toolathlon Verified via its official leaderboard. Full evaluation trajectories: trajectories.poolside.ai.

Usage

Laguna S 2.1 uses the same laguna architecture as Laguna XS 2.1, so the same
engine integrations apply (vLLM, SGLang, Transformers, TRT-LLM, llama.cpp). At 118B
parameters the BF16 checkpoint needs multiple GPUs (roughly 236GB of weights);
quantized variants reduce this substantially.

vLLM

vllm serve \
    --model poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
    --tool-call-parser poolside_v1 \
    --reasoning-parser poolside_v1 \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice \
    --served-model-name laguna \
    --default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": true}'

[!NOTE]
Optional: speculative decoding with DFlash. Pair with the
Laguna S 2.1 DFlash draft model
by adding
--speculative-config '{"model":"poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-DFlash","num_speculative_tokens":7,"method":"dflash"}'.

SGLang

python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 \
  --tp-size 4 \
  --reasoning-parser poolside_v1 \
  --tool-call-parser poolside_v1 \
  --trust-remote-code

TRT-LLM

trtllm-serve poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 --trust-remote-code \
    --tool_parser poolside_v1 --reasoning_parser laguna

Note the flag names differ from vLLM's (--tool_parser, and the reasoning parser
is laguna, not poolside_v1).

llama.cpp

GGUF conversions are available at
poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-GGUF.
Serve with poolside's llama.cpp fork, branch
laguna, which carries
full Laguna support including DFlash speculative decoding. (Base Laguna support
is also in upstream review:
ggml-org/llama.cpp#25165.)

git clone --branch laguna https://github.com/poolsideai/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp && cmake -B build && cmake --build build -j

./build/bin/llama-server -m laguna-s-2.1-Q4_K_M.gguf --jinja --port 8000

# with DFlash speculative decoding:
./build/bin/llama-server -m laguna-s-2.1-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  -md laguna-s-2.1-DFlash-BF16.gguf \
  --spec-type draft-dflash --spec-draft-n-max 7 -fa on --jinja --port 8000

Ollama

Run directly from the Ollama library:

ollama run laguna-s-2.1

Quantization variants are available as tags (q4_K_M, q8_0, f16, mxfp8,
nvfp4, mlx-bf16), for example ollama run laguna-s-2.1:q8_0. The Laguna chat
template is baked into the model, so tool-calling and interleaved reasoning work
automatically.

Controlling reasoning

Laguna S 2.1 has native reasoning support and works best with preserved thinking:
keep reasoning_content from prior assistant messages in the message history.
The model will generally reason before calling tools and between tool calls, and
may stop reasoning in follow-up steps if prior thinking blocks are dropped.

Thinking is controlled per request via the chat template:

extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": False}}

or at the server level with
--default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": true}'. For agentic coding
use cases we recommend enabling thinking and preserving reasoning in the message
history.
