Overview
Poolside is an artificial intelligence laboratory building foundation models specialised for software engineering rather than general conversation. Its approach centres on reinforcement learning from code execution feedback, training models against whether generated code actually compiles, runs and passes tests. The company raised one of the largest funding rounds in European artificial intelligence and is building its own large compute capacity in the United States; its founders previously held senior engineering leadership roles at GitHub and built earlier code analysis companies.
