Technical report
# Laguna M.1-base
Laguna M.1-base is the **pre-trained base checkpoint** for [Laguna M.1](https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-M.1), a 225B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 23B activated parameters per token. This is the base model prior to post-training and reinforcement learning; for agentic coding and instruction following, use the post-trained [Laguna M.1](https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-M.1).
## Model overview
- Number of parameters: 225B total with 23B activated per token
- Optimizer: Muon
- Layers: 70 layers with global attention
- Experts: 256 experts with 1 shared expert; top-k=16 routing
- Dense layers: first 3 layers are dense SwiGLU; remaining 67 layers are sparse MoE
- Attention: 64 Q-heads, 8 KV-heads, head dimension 128, with softplus attention output gating
- Positional encoding: RoPE with YaRN
- Modality: text-to-text
- Context window: 262,144 tokens
