Capabilities and usage limits

Open-weight coding model with 33B total / 3B active parameters. Compare each access channel separately. Laguna XS 2.1 is a distinct July model, not Laguna XS.2. Current Hugging Face guidance supersedes the launch article's coming-soon llama.cpp wording; upstream integration / platform limitations still apply.
