Laguna M.1 came first, finishing pre-training at the end of last year; it's the foundation for everything else we're building across the family.
Laguna XS.2 is a much smaller model, but remarkably capable for its size, and it's our first open-weight release.
Both models are free to use for a limited time via our API and on OpenRouter, and Laguna XS.2 weights are also available under an Apache 2.0 license.
