Rather than offering a simple coding assistant, it focuses on the underlying models, trained to understand large codebases and the reasoning involved in real software engineering.

Key Features

• Foundation models built for software engineering
• Designed for large production codebases
• Enterprise platform for engineering teams
• Models trained for code reasoning
• Research-led approach to AI for developers
• Enterprise security and deployment

How it works

Poolside works with large enterprises, offering its models and platform for teams building production software at scale. The company has raised significant funding to train its models on large-scale compute, and it positions itself as a research-led alternative to general-purpose AI companies.

There is no public pricing and no self-serve signup for individual developers, so check the official site for current enterprise options. Poolside is relevant to large organisations evaluating foundation models for engineering, not to developers looking for a quick IDE plugin.
