Runtimes 15, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers run the base's architecture from those files, and llama.cpp isn't credited because Nous Research publishes no GGUF. Builds 0, no quantised build of its own. Terms 15, Apache 2.0. Download 10, not gated. Hosted 0, no provider. 10 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 50.\n- Laguna XS 2.1 (80): Memory 20 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build with an exact size is Poolside's Q4_K_M GGUF at 20.27 GB, the same file as Ollama's default, which needs 32 GB with a fifth added. Runtimes 25, released llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers all run the laguna architecture. Builds 15, Poolside publishes FP8, INT4, NVFP4, MLX and GGUF builds. Terms 10, OpenMDW-1.1 is permissive but not OSI-approved. Download 10, nothing is gated. Hosted 0, Poolside's OpenRouter endpoints expired on 31 October 2026 and no other host was found.\n\n### Agent interface: Laguna XS 2.1 +25\n\n- Arete-27B (60): Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 10, only the template says it. Trained tool calling 20, several calls a turn and agentic work as an intended use. Structured output 0 and reasoning control 0, neither is documented on the card. Context 10, 262,144 tokens native. 20 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 60.\n- Laguna XS 2.1 (85): Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 25, the card shows how tools go in and calls come back and names the poolside_v1 parser for three runtimes. Trained tool calling 20, the template renders several calls a turn. Structured output 0, not documented. Reasoning control 10, enable_thinking per request with the reasoning in reasoning_content. Context 10, 128K trained per Poolside's report, with 262,144 reached by YaRN.\n\n### Documentation and upkeep: Arete-27B +17\n\n- Arete-27B (63): Model card 8, no limitations, context length, languages or cut-off. Training data 20, the training pairs and the evaluation set are published with their counts. Last change 20, a commit on 6 November 2026. Responsiveness 0, none of 13 discussions has a reply from Nous Research. Version policy 5, a first release. File health 10, the files agree. 8 + 20 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 63.\n- Laguna XS 2.1 (46): Model card 11 of 20, intended use, architecture, parameters and context are there, limitations, languages and a cut-off aren't. Training data 10, the linked report describes sources and filtering and Poolside's S 2.1 post gives the shared November 2025 cut-off. Last change 15, 19 August 2026, 76 days back. Responsiveness 0, Poolside answered none of the 6 discussions. Version policy 5, XS.2 is kept and release notes are dated, but GGUF files were replaced in place without a card note. File health 5, generation config and template disagree on the thinking default and two file reports wait without a reply.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Arete-27B | Laguna XS 2.1 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Capability | 35%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Reach | 25% (25 this run) | 50 | 80 | Laguna XS 2.1 +30 |\n| Risk | 20% (20 this run) | 55 | 55 | even |\n| Agent interface | 10% (10 this run) | 60 | 85 | Laguna XS 2.1 +25 |\n| Documentation and upkeep | 10% (10 this run) | 63 | 46 | Arete-27B +17 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **55.1 · C** | **61 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Arete-27B | Laguna XS 2.1 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Open-weight model | Open-weight model |\n| Vendor | Nous Research | Poolside |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | None | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | OpenMDW-1.1 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-08-19 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | 2026-07-21 |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | 2026-07-21 |\n| Customer content may train models | not read yet | yes, with an opt-out |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not read yet | not found in the text |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not read yet | not found in the text |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not read yet | yes |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not read yet | yes |\n| Agent reviews | none | 2.8/5 (4) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Arete-27B\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### Laguna XS 2.1\n\n- no change on 3 November 2026: product\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Arete-27B.** Qwen3.8-27B with its answers on politically sensitive topics retrained, four days old when read. The training data is published, which is rare. Nous Research ships BF16 only, so a small machine runs it from bartowski's GGUF, and the card documents none of the tool or thinking controls it inherits.\n\n**Laguna XS 2.1.** A small coding and agent cousin with 3B active parameters, so it's quick on modest hardware. Poolside's 4-bit GGUF, also Ollama's default, needs about 24 GB, and every major runtime runs it. The main risks are that nobody at Poolside answers its discussions, there are no safety results, and the SGLang route runs repository code.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Arete-27B\n\n1. Start it with `llama-server -hf bartowski/NousResearch_Arete-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja`, a third party's conversion, or serve the BF16 files with vLLM\n2. Use the base's parsers in vLLM, `--reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`, and check tool calls first, since the template differs slightly from Qwen3.8-27B's\n3. Thinking switches with `enable_thinking` in the template. The card's own evaluation ran with it off\n4. Expect answers on politically sensitive topics to differ from Qwen3.8-27B's. That is what the fine-tune is for\n5. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n\n### Laguna XS 2.1\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run laguna-xs-2.1`, 20 GB of files, the same Q4_K_M as Poolside's GGUF\n2. On our reference machine use `llama-server -hf poolside/Laguna-XS-2.1-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 131072`, from a llama.cpp release with the laguna architecture (b11772 has it), or BF16 with vLLM (66.9 GB)\n3. With vLLM use `--tool-call-parser poolside_v1 --reasoning-parser poolside_v1 --enable-auto-tool-choice`, on a build with vllm-project/vllm#47311, or `--tool-call-parser glm47` on older builds\n4. Thinking is off in the template unless you pass `enable_thinking` true or start the server with `--default-chat-template-kwargs '{\"enable_thinking\": true}'`, which Poolside recommends for agentic coding\n5. Pass earlier reasoning back as `reasoning_content` in the history, since the card says reasoning may stop in later steps if it's dropped\n6. Sampling per the card is temperature 1.0 and top_k 20\n7. The card warns that Ollama on Apple Silicon may return empty output until llama.cpp#25389 ships\n8. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Arete-27B or Laguna XS 2.1?\n\nLaguna XS 2.1 scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against Arete-27B's 55.1 (C), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
