Poolside: Laguna XS.2 (free)

poolside/laguna-xs.2:free

Laguna XS.2 is the second-generation model in the XS size class from Poolside(opens in new tab), their efficient coding agent series. It combines tool calling and reasoning capabilities with a compact footprint, offering a 128K context window and up to 8K output tokens. Quantized to fp8 for fast, cost-efficient agentic coding workflows.

Laguna XS.2 is designed for software engineering and agentic coding use cases, and you are responsible for confirming that it is appropriate for your intended application. Laguna XS.2 is subject to the Apache 2.0 License(opens in new tab), and should be used consistently with Poolside’s Acceptable Use Policy(opens in new tab). We advise against circumventing Laguna XS.2 safety guardrails without implementing substantially equivalent mitigations appropriate for your use case.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Pricing

List price is the headline rate per million tokens. Effective price is what you actually pay after prompt caching is applied — for repeated context, this can be 60–80% cheaper. The chart below shows the rolling effective price over the past 30 days.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
