Today, we’re releasing Poolside Desktop Assistant.

One place to run coding agents across macOS, VS Code, and Visual Studio.

We built it for ourselves and have used it every day for the past year. Now we’re opening it up to everyone.

We’ll be at ModCon ’26 in SF on August 18!

@varunrandery is joining the frontier models panel to talk about building models for long-horizon agentic work, where open models differentiate, and what it takes to get them into production.

Join us in SF or tune in online ↓

Building frontier models involves a hundred decisions rarely discussed publicly: when to stop scaling, what data to keep, how to differentiate, whether to release the weights.

On August 18th at ModCon '26, Paige Bailey of @GoogleDeepMind, Joseph Spisak of @reflection_ai, Victor Su-Ortiz of @MiniMax_AI, and Varun Randery of @poolsideai are talking through the challenges of the industry from four different vantage points.

Agentic evals are messy. A benchmark score tells you something about model performance, but it also reflects the whole system around it: the harness, sandbox, dependencies, timeouts and sometimes a loophole the agent found in the task.

That’s why trajectories matter so much to us. They show what the agent actually did and whether the score means what we think it does. We publish them to make that evidence transparent and auditable, giving the wider community more to learn from.

Watch @aalSonOfRavi and @ConnorBAdams go deep on all of this with @petergostev from @arena, including some surprisingly creative reward hacks!

Meet… Arena Conversations. @petergostev sits down with @poolsideai researchers,Connor Adams and Aalhad Patankar, to discuss how they’re building frontier open coding models.

Episode drops today at 10am PT on our YouTube.

They dig into Poolside's Laguna model family, why the team publishes full trajectories (not just benchmark scores) for anyone to audit, and how "experiments" at Poolside range from data mixes to harness design to reward-tuning decisions run tens of thousands of times a day.

Come hear @mgalle and @sudip_r0y get into the weeds on post-training, agent RL, continuous learning, and what it takes to make models work reliably in production!

adaption @adaption_ai Aug 12

First episode of Field Notes, our new monthly series on the leaders shaping AI.

@sudip_r0y, Adaption Co-founder, and @mgalle, post-training lead at @poolsideai discuss the last 5% of reliability and what it actually costs.

we knew the community could make Laguna faster. 2.6x faster is pretty fun :)

huge congrats to the winner, and to all 35 solvers who spent the last few weeks pushing Laguna XS 2.1 further!

more reasons to build in the open, together 🤝

Eigen Labs @eigenlabs Aug 11

We started the MLX.fast challenge with @poolsideai with one key question. How much faster can the community make Laguna XS 2.1 run on a Mac?

The answer so far has been 2.6x faster.

Nearly 1,800 submissions and 35 solvers later, the challenge comes to a close today.

And there’s one more thing. One of the solvers is taking home a Mac Mini M4 24GB!
