Laguna M.1
serving recipe.

Laguna M.1 is a 225B total, 23B active mixture of experts model with a 256K tokens context window. vLLM publishes a tested serving recipe for it, and Wingsmith reads that recipe when you register the weights.

01 / Memory

Precisions and memory floors.

Each variant is a precision vLLM tested, sometimes published as its own repository.

VariantPrecisionMemory floorWeights
defaultBF16540 GBpoolside/Laguna-M.1
fp8FP8270 GBpoolside/Laguna-M.1-FP8
nvfp4NVFP4135 GBpoolside/Laguna-M.1-NVFP4

Floors are the minimum the vLLM recipe publishes across the whole replica, from vLLM's own runs. The control plane compares them with its own sizing from the model config.

02 / Parallelism

Layouts the recipe supports.

  • Tensor ParallelFits inside one node's interconnect. single_node_tp
  • Tensor + Expert ParallelFits inside one node's interconnect. single_node_tep
  • Data + Expert ParallelFits inside one node's interconnect. single_node_dep
  • Multi-Node Tensor ParallelSpans nodes. multi_node_tp
  • Multi-Node Data + Expert ParallelSpans nodes. multi_node_dep
  • Multi-Node Tensor + Expert ParallelSpans nodes. multi_node_tep

03 / Hardware

Where vLLM ran it.

Node shapes the recipe reports an end-to-end run on.

The recipe does not mark any hardware as verified.

Wingsmith runs models through NVIDIA Dynamo, so it serves on NVIDIA GPUs. Other vendors are listed as the recipe states them.

04 / Flags

The tested baseline.

Base flags, then the default variant, then the features that are on by default, as the recipe composes them.

vllm serve poolside/Laguna-M.1 \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice \
  --tool-call-parser poolside_v1 \
  --reasoning-parser poolside_v1 \
  --default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": true}'
Single-node baseline. Multi-node layouts add flags per strategy and role.

  • ReasoningOn by defaultEnable interleaved thinking (on by default) with Poolside's reasoning parser

05 / Serve

Serve it with Wingsmith.

From a slug to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, across your clusters.

  1. Register the weights

    In the console, or through the API. Resolving a slug proposes an artifact and writes nothing.

    curl "http://localhost:8000/v1/artifacts/resolve?source=hf:poolside/Laguna-M.1"
    Against the local control plane from the quickstart, where admin auth is off.
  2. Read the draft

    The draft carries this recipe as upstream evidence: the tested flags, the precision and memory floor, the parallelism layouts, and the hardware vLLM verified, with links back to the recipe. Nothing from it is applied without you, and the draft warns when the plane's own sizing and the published floor differ by a quarter or more.

  3. Create the workload

    Choose the engine, device shape and scale. The plane picks the clusters, and each cluster's operator renders the deployment as a Dynamo graph.

  4. Give it an endpoint

    One model name for clients, routed by the gateway to deployments on every cluster serving it.

Questions

Common questions.

  • How much GPU memory does Laguna M.1 need?The vLLM recipe publishes a minimum of 135 GB across the whole replica for its NVFP4 variant; BF16 540 GB, FP8 270 GB. That is vLLM's own measurement, not a per-GPU figure.
  • Which parallelism layouts does the Laguna M.1 recipe support?Tensor Parallel, Tensor + Expert Parallel, Data + Expert Parallel, Multi-Node Tensor Parallel, Multi-Node Data + Expert Parallel and Multi-Node Tensor + Expert Parallel.
  • Can Wingsmith serve Laguna M.1?Wingsmith serves models through NVIDIA Dynamo on clusters with NVIDIA GPUs. Register poolside/Laguna-M.1 and the plane attaches this vLLM recipe to the draft as evidence: its tested flags, precision and memory floor, for you to review rather than applied on your behalf. The recipe reports no end-to-end run on NVIDIA hardware.
