I don't understand a single word, and yet it's the most satisfying author copy I've received to date.

Meet… Arena Conversations. @petergostev sits down with @poolsideai researchers,Connor Adams and Aalhad Patankar, to discuss how they’re building frontier open coding models. Episode drops today at 10am PT on our YouTube. They dig into Poolside's Laguna model family, why the team publishes full trajectories (not just benchmark scores) for anyone to audit, and how "experiments" at Poolside range from data mixes to harness design to reward-tuning decisions run tens of thousands of times a day.

We started the MLX.fast challenge with @poolsideai with one key question. How much faster can the community make Laguna XS 2.1 run on a Mac? The answer so far has been 2.6x faster. Nearly 1,800 submissions and 35 solvers later, the challenge comes to a close today. And there’s one more thing. One of the solvers is taking home a Mac Mini M4 24GB! Winner below ↓

One way to fall behind in data science has nothing to do with models or tools. It's struggling to explain your work. In Writing for Developers, @c_a_dunlop and @sarna_dev share practical techniques for communicating technical ideas with clarity.

We just crossed 10T tokens served across all our models in less than 3 months! Laguna S 2.1 is pushing new highs at ~300B tokens a day, and has processed +2T in the 14 days since release. That’s across @OpenRouter @vercel and our direct API. Really good to see demand for open models keep accelerating.

We've improved our serving efficiency and increased rate limits by +10x. The update is live on @OpenRouter @vercel AI Gateway and platform.poolside.ai. Thank you to everyone who has used the model, shared feedback and stuck with us while we improved the experience! Usage is already climbing. On OpenRouter alone, Laguna S 2.1 is on pace for ~250B tokens today, 4x our daily average this week. We are also taking 10% off our paid endpoint on OpenRouter. It's a dedicated deployment with the full 1M context window for the best performance on harder tasks. Run Laguna S 2.1 in pool or Poolside Desktop Assistant, or plug it into @opencode, @NousResearch Hermes Agent, @kilocode, @cline or @pidotdev and let it run over the weekend. We'll be watching the graphs.

also, loop spelt backward is pool - the universe is giving you a hint to switch to @poolsideai pool for daily agentic workloads github.com/poolsideai/pool
opus 5: "evals spelt backwards is slave" wow. might be one of the only model outputs in recent memory that has genuinely surprised me.

Building AI in the open makes the world more secure. We’re joining the Open Secure AI Alliance to build open tools that safeguard software and agents. We’ll keep releasing model weights and evaluations and sharing our research to strengthen a broader open ecosystem for defenders. Excited to contribute alongside @nvidia and the other organizations building this ecosystem.
Attackers have frontier AI. Defenders need a frontier AI ecosystem—the best open and closed models, force-multiplied by a global community. During the Hugging Face incident, closed AI blocked essential forensics. An open-weight frontier model helped contain the intrusion. That’s why we created the Open Secure AI Alliance.

Poolside Desktop Assistant is available today for macOS, VS Code, and Visual Studio. Download it and put it to work: poolside.ai/downloads/deskto… Learn more about why we built it: poolside.ai/blog/introducing… Try it now and tell us what to build next in Discord: discord.gg/NAnCKRbZa

Hint: min-p 0.05 (never accept tokens < 5% score of top one) recovers a lot of quality in Laguna S2.1 without impacting output richness in any significant way. min-p should be the default for most inference engines.

JUST PUT @risc_v LINUX IN YOUR BROWSER RIGHT NOW The time has come, and rave is mature enough to actually boot a real tiny RISC-V Linux image in your browser. No virtio yet, but UART is just enough to give it a try and lurk around the system with busybox. rave.sarna.dev Special thanks to @poolsideai Laguna S for ever-thorough reviews and @buildrootorg for making it so easy to build minimal Linux kernels and initramfs!
🤖 Made with AI
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 @huggingface poolside.ai/blog/introducing…
