Poolside AI: Building AGI Models in 8 Weeks

Poolside AI is building foundation models, with a core belief that code is the key to Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI. The company uses a system called Model Factory to achieve this. Model Factory allows for rapid iteration, enabling new models to be released in as little as eight weeks. What's interesting is that it supports massive experimentation, running tens of thousands of experiments monthly to refine these models. The system leverages autonomous agents that write code, launch jobs, evaluate results, and modify pipelines. Poolside AI also commits to open research, sharing its advancements with the community. This approach aims to accelerate the development of advanced AI.
