About

Poolside builds open-weight foundation models and the systems that refine and improve them, working from the belief that the fastest path to AGI is mastering long horizon, multi-step, complex task software development. Its first major milestone is to significantly surpass the state of the art currently held by general purpose models, by training a large language model oriented entirely towards software development and letting it improve by completing tasks across real world software projects. Poolside calls this approach Reinforcement Learning from Code Execution Feedback, and frames its near-term work as assisting developers in building software by building the most capable AI for software development.
