Poolside builds coding-focused foundation models. It is a US company, so it is CLOUD Act exposed even though its engineering base was reported to be in Paris. Its recent Laguna models are openly licensed (OpenMDW-1.1), and a DPA with SCCs is published. A GPAI Code of Practice signature, an AI Act training-data summary and security certifications could not be verified. Its Terms say user content may be used for model training unless the user opts out, and its Acceptable Use Policy bars EU AI Act high-risk uses. Organisational stability is the main open question. A large compute and funding plan fell apart in 2026, then a licensing-and-hiring deal with Nvidia was reported in August 2026. Check roadmap and support continuity before depending on it.
