About Poolside
Poolside is a foundation model company that builds open-weight AI models and coding agents for software development. Its Laguna models and Poolside Platform let enterprises run agents inside their own security boundary, including on-prem, private-cloud and air-gapped deployments. The company also sells that stack through Amazon Web Services as a first-party offering. Poolside makes money by charging enterprises a subscription for the platform and model weights. In August 2026 Nvidia agreed to pay $6 billion for a non-exclusive license to Poolside's Model Factory, extend job offers to more than 100 employees and invest $1 billion in the company, which continues to operate independently.
