Today we're releasing Laguna S 2.1, our most capable model to date.
It's a 118B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 8B activated per token, a context window of up to 1M tokens, and thinking and no-thinking modes.
Capable enough to hold its own against models many times its size. Small enough to run on a single @NVIDIAAI DGX Spark.
Laguna S 2.1 is fully open under OpenMDW-1.1, with weights available today on @huggingfacepoolside.ai/blog/introducing…

After a couple of years, today is my last day @vercel. Thankful to have had a wonderful time working with incredibly talented minds, and craft beautiful things with the design team. Some final snippets I've enjoyed recently:
ALT Colorful mid-century modern inspired books for Vercel Guides, with input from @prekesh__'s Open Graph illustration explorations.
