Details
The Laguna family models Poolside has made available for free are specialized for programming, making them suitable for writing code or connecting to coding automation tools. Laguna M.1 has 2,250 hundred million parameters, and selects only 230 hundred million of them to use when responding. Laguna S 2.1 has 1,180 hundred million parameters, of which 80 hundred million are active, and can handle long documents of up to 100 ten-thousand tokens at once. Laguna XS 2.1 is a lightweight, fast version with 330 hundred million parameters, of which 30 hundred million are active.
Go to platform.poolside.ai, create an account, and request access to the models. No payment information or coupon code is needed.
Response speeds are not particularly fast: about 10 tokens per second for the large model, about 20 for the medium model, and about 30 for the small model. There is no usage cap; speed is adjusted as needed according to a “fair use” policy. You can effectively keep using it for free, but excessive use may result in restrictions.
