## What the story says

Poolside uses Baseten to host its Laguna coding models behind a whitelabeled, OpenAI-compatible production API. Baseten also provides per-key usage limits, billing webhooks, traffic sampling for model training, and an automated checkpoint deployment pipeline.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Baseten and Poolside, not ours.

> Within 48 hours of Poolside creating their account, the model was live and responding to queries.

- **605ms**: “P50 TTFT: 146ms for Laguna XS.2 and 605ms for Laguna M.1”
- **3.9s**: “P90 TTFT: 1.5s for Laguna XS.2 and 3.9s for Laguna M.1”

> When we set out to make our Laguna family of models available to the world, we knew the inference layer would make or break the developer experience at launch. Baseten exceeded our quality and performance bar. The speed from conversion to production-grade, white labeled API was unlike anything we had seen from an infrastructure partner.
