Cheapest Poolside models per 1M tokens
Standard on-demand tier, cheapest host per model. Media models are priced in their own unit and listed further down rather than mixed into this table.
| Model | Blended /1M | Cheapest host | Quality | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laguna XS 2.1 | $0.075 | Poolside | not measured | 262k |
| Laguna S 2.1 | $0.113 | Poolside | not measured | 1.05M |
Open weights from Poolside
Parameter counts are computed from the published weight files, and licences are what the authors attached — both from the weights registry rather than from any seller. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without signing something.
| Model | Parameters | Licence | Downloads (30d) | Repo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laguna S 2.1 | 117.56B | openmdw-1.1 | 0.09M | poolside/Laguna-S-2.1 |

One API for every Poolside model
VernaOne fronts the sellers on this page behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Newest first, priced or not. A model with no price is a fact about what its sellers publish, not a gap we are hiding.

Frequently asked
How many models does Poolside have?
We track 2 Poolside models across 1 category, 2 of them with a published price. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs, the vendor's own docs and the weights registry rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.
Can I buy Poolside models directly from Poolside?
Yes — we hold offerings sold by Poolside itself (as poolside), alongside 1 other hosts. Buying direct is not automatically cheapest: each model page lists every seller with its price and the evidence behind it.
Are Poolside models open weights?
2 of 2 have a public weights repository. Licence mix: 2 open weights permissive. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without a separate agreement, so check the model page before planning a deployment.
