Profile note
Included with a correction: the task brief described Poolside as Paris-HQ, but as of Aug 2026 sources place its headquarters in San Francisco with a distributed US/UK/France team (co-founder Eiso Kant relocated the company from Paris early on). Treat it as a US company with French roots, not a French lab. Trains its own frontier coding models (Malibu); pricing fully gated.
