This will be really good. Synth data for pre-training is not easy to get right, and @marah_i_abdin is one of the best in the field.

news! @poolsideai has acquired @fern_labs, in which @airstreet was the first and sole investor - and a first investor into poolside as well. i met @ashedwardst in late 2024 before fern had a name or team. his technical depth, product taste and ambitious were 🔥 fern pushed

The real win from being able to train a 1T parameter model on a “shoe string” budget isn’t the cost savings. It’s the efficiency gain that lets you move faster and increase your iteration speed. Pay attention to the slope. Since I can remember, the best deep learning models

Heading over to @mattturck's office to record a podcast, almost 2 years since we recorded the first podcast we did for Poolside. Any questions/topics you'd like us to cover? On the episode 2 years ago, it was highly contrarian to describe our approach to Reinforcement Learning.

Really excited to be partnering with Alex & Redpanda! Expanding our platform and opening up our models and agents to +300 enterprise data sources + a highly capable query engine is a huge unlock for the capabilities we can deliver to our customers. And man are they great to

LET'S GOOOOO. Couldn't be more proud to partner with a frontier model company on the Agentic Data Plane. Poolside and Redpanda see the world from a similar lense. From Air Gap deployments to BYOC. 🚀🚀🚀🚀 https://t.co/5B8Mg9EwGq Stoked on this.

Great work! Very bullish on this direction. Almost everything we do in foundation models is either improving compute efficiency or improving data. Allowing for adaptive computation can be one of the bigger unlocks for improving model capabilities within a compute budget.

Would love to connect with anyone who's impacted, and is looking to join a small, but well-resourced team to push to the frontier and beyond. We have one of the highest ratios of GPU resources per researcher. No politics or siloes.

We believe that to compete at the frontier, you have to own the full stack: from dirt to intelligence. Today we’re announcing two major unlocks for our mission to AGI: 1. We're partnering with @CoreWeave and have 40,000+ NVIDIA GB300s secured. First capacity comes online

When people ask what it takes to build frontier AI, the focus is usually on the model—the architecture, the training runs, the research breakthroughs. But that’s only half the story.

Ari is one of my favorite people in our field. Worth listening to him. When we started poolside, one of our guiding research beliefs was "not all tokens are equal".
