Could you build this?
No Poolside develops proprietary foundation models specifically pre-trained and fine-tuned for software engineering at scale. This requires tens of millions of dollars in compute, world-class ML research teams, and massive custom training datasets.
What it would actually take: Building frontier foundation models requires large GPU clusters (thousands of H100s), custom distributed training frameworks (Megatron-LM, DeepSpeed), proprietary synthetic data pipelines, and deep RLHF/RLAIF infrastructure. The engineering demands elite research scientists and infrastructure specialists with multi-million dollar budgets.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
