Poolside: Laguna XS.2

Poolside Laguna XS.2 is a text-in, text-out model with a 262,144-token context window and a 32,768-token output ceiling. It supports tool use and reasoning, which makes it usable for agentic workflows and multi-step tasks. Structured output support is unconfirmed, so developers who depend on guaranteed JSON schemas should verify before committing. It is a paid model with no open-weights release. At $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.20 per million output tokens, the pricing sits at the lower end of the commercial model range, which may appeal to teams running high-volume coding or reasoning workloads on a budget. The catch is that there is currently no independent benchmark coverage, so there is no third-party data to validate its reasoning quality against competitors. Buyers are effectively relying on internal or anecdotal evidence until that coverage exists.
