Highlights
- Laguna M.1: a Mixture-of-Experts foundation model with 225.8B total parameters (23.4B activated per token), built for long-horizon, agentic coding.
- Laguna XS.2: a smaller MoE model with 33.4B total parameters (3B activated per token).
- Both models were trained from scratch end-to-end inside the same internal system, the Model Factory: a tightly-integrated stack of versioned data, training, evaluation, and inference components that turns model development into an industrial process.
- The report details the Model Factory's principles and design choices, as well as the full end-to-end training process: pre-training data and architecture, post-training stages, evaluation, and quantization.
- On agentic software engineering and terminal benchmarks — SWE-bench Verified, SWE-bench Multilingual, SWE-Bench Pro, and Terminal-Bench 2.0 — M.1 and XS.2 are competitive with state-of-the-art open-weight models at their respective sizes.
- Laguna XS.2 weights are open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face.
Original Abstract (excerpt)
> We present Laguna M.1 and Laguna XS.2, two Mixture-of-Experts foundation models built for long-horizon, agentic coding: M.1 has 225.8B total parameters (23.4B activated per token) and XS.2 has 33.4B total (3B activated). Both models were trained from scratch end-to-end inside the same internal system that we refer to as our Model Factory: a tightly-integrated stack of versioned data, training, evaluation, and inference components that turn model development into an industrial process.
