One API for every Poolside model

VernaOne fronts the sellers on this page behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Frequently asked

How many models does Poolside have?

We track 2 Poolside models across 1 category, 2 of them with a published price. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs, the vendor's own docs and the weights registry rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.

Can I buy Poolside models directly from Poolside?

Yes — we hold offerings sold by Poolside itself (as poolside), alongside 1 other hosts. Buying direct is not automatically cheapest: each model page lists every seller with its price and the evidence behind it.

Are Poolside models open weights?

2 of 2 have a public weights repository. Licence mix: 2 open weights permissive. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without a separate agreement, so check the model page before planning a deployment.
