Poolside's Laguna XS.2 release gives developers downloadable coding-model weights under Apache 2.0. The company says the model runs on a single GPU, providing a route to operating it on developers' own infrastructure. Its release account introduces XS.2 alongside Laguna M.1, a larger model aimed at coding tasks that require sustained work.
Poolside says XS.2 was trained from scratch in its Model Factory. The useful distinction for developers is access to a model they can run and adapt themselves, alongside the company's hosted coding offerings.
