 # Laguna XS.2
-Laguna XS.2 is a 33B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 3B activated parameters per token designed for agentic coding and long-horizon work on a local machine. It uses Sliding Window Attention with per-head gating in 30 out of 40 layers for fast inference and low KV cache requirements.
+Laguna XS.2 is an agentic coding model designed for software engineering use cases and tool calling capabilities.
 
-This is the instruct model with native reasoning support and interleaved thinking. For the base model, see [Laguna XS.2-base](https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-XS.2-base).
+This is the base model. For post-trained variants, please see the other models in the collection.
 
-For more details on how we trained this model, including on data automixing and async off-policy agent RL, check out our [release blog post]().
+For more details, check out our [release blog post]().
 
 ## Key features
-- **Mixed SWA and global attention layout**: Laguna XS.2 uses sigmoid gating with per-layer rotary scales, enabling mixed SWA (Sliding Window Attention) and global attention layers in a 3:1 ratio (across 40 total layers)
-- **KV cache in FP8**: All quantization formats use a KV cache quantized to FP8, reducing memory per token.
-- **Native reasoning support**: Interleaved thinking enabled by default
-- **Local-ready**: At 33B total parameters and 3B activated, Laguna XS.2 is compact enough to run on a Mac with 36 GB of RAM. [Available on Ollama](https://ollama.com/library/laguna-xs.2)
-- **Apache 2.0 license**: Use and modify freely for commerical and non-commercial purposes
+- **Mixture of Experts architecture with sigmoid gating**: Laguna XS.2 uses a sigmoid scoring function with per-layer rotary scales, enabling mixed SWA (Sliding Window Attention) and global attention layers.
+- **Reasoning control**: [Enable or disable thinking per-request].

-## Benchmark results (VR)
-
-We evaluate Laguna XS.2 with thinking enabled in our agent harness, pool (see the Usage section below to download and run locally), across all benchmarks. For other models, we use the best available publicly-reported score; if not available, we calculate baselines using OpenHands (SWE-bench family) or Terminus 2 (Terminal-Bench 2.0) using the settings below.

-Laguna XS.2 has native reasoning support and is designed to work best with *preserved thinking*, where `reasoning` content from prior assistant messages is preserved in the message history. This model will generally reason before calling tools and between tool calls.

-```python
-import json
-from openai import OpenAI
-
-client = OpenAI(
-  base_url="https://inference.poolside.ai/v1",
-  api_key="...",

-
-model = "poolside/laguna-xs.2"

-

-# When using the Poolside API (https://inference.poolside.ai/v1), this flag is set by default

-  tools=tools,
-  stream=True,
-)
-
-reasoning, content, tool_calls = "", "", []
-for chunk in response:

-  if hasattr(delta, "reasoning") and delta.reasoning:

-      if tc.function.name:
-        tool_calls[tc.index]["function"]["name"] = tc.function.name
-      if tc.function.arguments:
-        tool_calls[tc.index]["function"]["arguments"] += tc.function.arguments
-
-print(f"Reasoning: {reasoning}\nContent: {content}\nTool calls: {tool_calls}\n")
-
-# Return reasoning in the next request for best performance

-  if hasattr(delta, "content") and delta.content:
-    content += delta.content
-
-print(f"Reasoning: {reasoning}\nContent: {content}")
-```
-
-### Disabling reasoning
-
-You can disable thinking by setting `enable_thinking` to `False` in a request or by not providing `--default-chat-template-kwargs {"enable_thinking": true}` or equivalent when starting the server.
-
-```python
-from openai import OpenAI
-client = OpenAI()
-
-completion = client.chat.completions.create(
-  model="poolside/laguna-xs.2",
-  messages=[
-    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a retry wrapper with exponential backoff."}
-  ],
-  extra_body={
-    "chat_template_kwargs": { "enable_thinking": False },
-  }
-  stream=True
-)
-
-for chunk in completion:
-    print(chunk.choices[0].delta)
-```
-
-For agentic coding use cases, we recommend enabling thinking and preserving reasoning in message history as outlined in the [Controlling reasoning] section.
