poolside's 118B coding-agent model — 8.5B parameters active at a time — compressed to NVFP4 on one desktop-sized AI computer.
Setup and speed
Full results
- —Each task is run three times; the score counts all 1,650 attempts, not 550 tasks.
- —Strongest on the tool-driven work: Spreadsheet analysis 95 and Document extraction 90. Weakest on judgment — Business writing 80, Classification and routing 42/50 — and on Formulas & SQL at 75, which falls to 55 on hard tasks.
- —397 of 550 tasks were correct on all three passes. Nothing was cut off by the output limit; seven SQL attempts timed out.
- —In the files round it produced only the social posts; the report, workbook and deck were never written before the task ended.
The first token arrives at 2.47s and the answer starts straight away — this model does not run a separate reasoning phase. The 10.4s typical task time is the answer being written.
Files it produced
Four real documents from one fact sheet, produced once. Passed is machine-checked against the fact sheet and the brief; quality is a separate 1–5 score from a published rubric and never changes whether a file passed. How files are graded →
An 8–12 page annual report with six required sections: shareholder letter, financial review, category performance, customer and geographic performance, risk factors, and outlook.
Not produced — the model never wrote this fileA two-sheet workbook: a Summary comparing FY2025 to FY2024, and a Monthly sheet with all twelve months.
Not produced — the model never wrote this fileA ten-slide investor presentation following a fixed outline, with the brand palette applied and at least one real chart object.
Not produced — the model never wrote this fileAn X post of 280 characters or fewer and a LinkedIn post, both announcing the results, text only.
Download MDEvery artifact below is the file the model actually produced, published unedited so you can open it yourself. These are AI-generated documents about a fictional company — read them as samples of the model's work, not as advice or a real annual report. The workbook's formula cells hold real formulas — a viewer that does not recalculate may show them blank until Excel opens the file.
