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
Been seeing a lot of speculation on Twitter about why we moved to Paris and decided to hire across Europe, Israel & yes also still the US (we operate remote-first @poolsideai but come together every month at our office in Paris 🇫🇷).
Here is why...
VC: So you’re out raising
Me: No, we’re not
VC: okay, so you are not raising raising 😉
Me: No, really we’re not
VC: Okay, so fake not raising 😉😉
Me: No, *really* we’re not fake not raising, we are actually not raising
Europe has absolutely incredible talent but you need to build a remote team to harness it. You just can’t find the same geo-concentration of exceptional talent like in the Bay Area.
In this decade AI will surpass human capabilities in software development and we will make tremendous progress towards the broader mission of AGI. 🧵

Stupid visa processes are stopping a very talented candidate from being able to have an internship at our Madrid office. Can't wait till the day people read about visas and borders in history books. We are all humans on the same planet.
Wanted to share my thoughts on the 5 types of metrics I believe you need as a software engineering team to know if you're continuously improving:
• Speed
• Volume
• Engagement
• Quality
• Impact

And why Paris 🇫🇷 and for instance not London?
@Xavier75, @an21m, and @EmmanuelMacron's government have been incredibly welcoming and shown that they are committed to providing the conditions for AI companies to succeed here. And there is just magic in the air here!
Will share more soon but this quote from @Redpoint’s post is a great tl dr;
“Poolside aims to unlock humanity’s potential by pursuing AGI for software creation, with the fundamental belief that the transitional path for humanity to AGI is by building for specific capabilities
Couldn’t be more excited about what @jasoncwarner and @eisokant are building. Check out why @ericabrescia and I are thrilled to get to partner with the perfect team to take on a world-changing vision to power the future of software creation:
