Laguna

Laguna is Poolside's mixture-of-experts language model family. The Laguna-specific deltas vs a standard SwiGLU MoE transformer are:

  • Per-layer head counts via num_attention_heads_per_layer — different decoder layers can have different query-head counts while sharing the same KV cache shape.
  • Sigmoid MoE router with auxiliary-loss-free load balancing (arXiv:2408.15664) and optional logit soft-capping (moe_router_logit_softcapping) — router scores are the element-wise sigmoid of the gate logits plus a learned per-expert bias (e_score_correction_bias) that is added at selection time only.

Usage

<hfoptions id="usage"> <hfoption id="Pipeline">
python
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="poolside/Laguna-XS.2",
    dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)
print(pipe("The capital of France is", max_new_tokens=20, do_sample=False)[0]["generated_text"])
</hfoption> <hfoption id="AutoModel">
python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "poolside/Laguna-XS.2"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)

prompt = "The capital of France is"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
generated = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20, do_sample=False)
print(tokenizer.decode(generated[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
</hfoption> </hfoptions>

Notes

  • Attention backends. SDPA (default), FlashAttention-2, and flex attention are supported. Attention-output gating is applied outside the kernel call and therefore works with all backends.
  • num_attention_heads_per_layer. When provided, its length must equal num_hidden_layers. Each entry must be divisible by num_key_value_heads.
  • layer_types. Defaults to ["full_attention"] * num_hidden_layers when left unset. To enable sliding-window attention, pass a list of "full_attention" / "sliding_attention" values.
  • mlp_layer_types. Per-layer MLP type, values "dense" or "sparse". Length must equal num_hidden_layers. Defaults to ["dense"] + ["sparse"] * (num_hidden_layers - 1) (first layer dense, rest MoE) when left unset.
  • moe_apply_router_weight_on_input=True is not currently supported alongside the fused experts kernel (grouped_mm_experts_forward); validate_architecture raises at config-construction time. Set it to False (the default).
