poolside

poolside builds open-weight foundation models and the systems that refine them for agentic software engineering. Its Laguna model family (Laguna XS 2.1, a 33B on-device model, and Laguna M.1, a 225B model with a 256K context window) is served through an OpenAI-compatible inference API at inference.poolside.ai, the hosted Poolside Platform, OpenRouter, and self-managed on-premises / cloud Kubernetes deployments (Amazon EKS, OpenShift, upstream Kubernetes). Developers work with the models through the `pool` Agent CLI, editor and coding-agent integrations (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, Zed, Cline, Goose, GitHub Copilot), the Agent Client Protocol, MCP servers, and reusable Skills / AGENTS.md instructions. poolside targets secure, self-hosted enterprise and government software engineering and is backed by SoftBank Vision Fund.

poolside publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Foundation Models.

poolside’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, quickstart, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 22 more developer resources.
