Poolside

Poolside builds and trains proprietary foundation models via its internal **Model Factory** (Titan training stack on a ~10K GPU cluster, Apache Iceberg data layer, Kubernetes orchestration) and then deploys those models and agentic systems fully inside customer VPCs/on‑prem through the Poolside Platform, with additional distribution via AWS Bedrock and Trainium-backed inference.[1][2][7][8][9][5][6][11] The production architecture is therefore a proprietary, Kubernetes-based ML/agent stack running on AWS (and customer infrastructure) with an Iceberg-centered data plane and tightly integrated model training, evaluation, and deployment pipelines.[1][2][7][8][9][11]

FAQ

Does Poolside use a foundational AI model?

Poolside uses Laguna S, Malibu, Point (Native (own / self-hosted weights)).

What cloud does Poolside run on?

Poolside runs on AWS.

What database does Poolside use?

Poolside uses Apache Iceberg (central data/experiment layer), Object storage over Iceberg (likely S3-compatible, inferred from AWS + Iceberg usage), Kubernetes-native config/state stores (e.g., etcd; inferred from 'stacked under a single Kubernetes orchestrator').

How close does Poolside run to the foundational model?

Poolside is Native (own / self-hosted weights) — close to the metal, so cheaper tokens and more control over outputs.
