one thing i think people dont appreciate enough about @poolsideai is their unusual degree of openness — not only have they shipped an excellent Small model that somehow beat @thinkymachines at coding, but most people (like @eliebakouch) have been shouting out their excellent papers, but also they're among a rare few to actually expose their full eval dataset as well - beautifully published, with across 6 public benchmarks with 4 runs each and hundreds of turns per run. you can satisfy for yourself if they rewardhack. brilliant.
Poolside’s Race to AGI: Model Factory, Laguna S, Open Models, & Beyond MCP https://latent.space/p/poolside @poolsideai co-founder and CEO @eisokant explains why coding is the path to AGI, how Poolside’s Model Factory runs 10,000–20,000 experiments a month and turns new models around in as little as eight weeks, why Laguna S suggests persistence and verification may matter more than raw intelligence, why agents are already helping build the next generation of models, and why the future should have 100 foundation model companies not five.
We try really hard, transparency builds trust. And you should be able to trust who you use intelligence from. We’ll make mistakes along the way but hopefully our intentions are clear.
