Supported models - Poolside

Poolside Models Overview

Poolside models are foundation models for software engineering. Use this page to choose a model, compare reasoning support and context windows, and find the right setup guidance for API access or deployment planning. Supported models are models that Poolside validates, ships, upgrades, patches, and helps operate in a Poolside deployment. Model availability, provider-specific variants, and model IDs can vary by access method.

Reasoning Terminology

Poolside and compatible providers use related terms for model reasoning behavior:

Reasoning: The general model capability or behavior. In API contexts, this can also refer to fields such as OpenRouter’s reasoning object or assistant reasoning_content.
Thinking: The Poolside term for turning reasoning behavior on or off per request.
Effort: A generic scale used to express how much reasoning to request. ACP clients support default, max, xhigh, high, medium, low, minimal, and none; OpenRouter reasoning.effort values depend on provider model metadata.
Thought level: The ACP session config option that maps to effort values.

Access Models

How you access Poolside models determines which API base URL, reasoning controls, and model IDs are available. To find model IDs for your access method, see List available models.

Access method	API base URL	Reasoning controls
Poolside Platform	`https://inference.poolside.ai/v1`	Poolside Platform enables thinking by default. To turn it off for an API request, set `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking` to `false`. In Poolside ACP sessions, thought level maps `max` to thinking on and `none` to thinking off.
Poolside deployment	`https://<api-domain>/openai/v1`	Depends on the deployed models and serving configuration.
OpenRouter	`https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`	OpenRouter `reasoning.effort`. Supported values depend on provider model metadata.
OpenAI-compatible provider or local server	The base URL your provider or model server exposes	Provider-specific.
