Poolside Releases Laguna XS 2.1 for Local Agentic Coding

Poolside has launched Laguna XS 2.1, a 33B MoE model optimized for local agentic coding under the permissive OpenMDW-1.1 license.

### TL;DR

Laguna XS 2.1 is a 33B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) coding agent model with 3B activated parameters per token, specifically engineered for high-performance agentic coding and long-horizon tasks. It features an efficient architecture with mixed sliding-window and global attention, native interleaved reasoning, and support for a 256K context window, making it highly capable for local execution and complex software engineering workflows.
