## Laguna XS.2

[Our first open-weight model](https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-XS.2): Laguna XS.2 (33B-A3B), 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.
