Agentic coding model from Poolside in the XS size class for local deployment
Laguna S 2.1 by poolside is offered by 7 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 6 of them. Its official list price is $0 per 1M tokens. It also has 1 free ($0) channel; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
The context window is 1,048,576 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 1,000,000 to 1,048,576, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning and tool use. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
