Prime Intellect

Decentralized compute marketplace and open-stack platform for training AI models
Prime Intellect is building an open, decentralized stack for training AI models — combining a global compute marketplace with tooling for reinforcement-learning post-training, environments, evaluations, and inference. The company demonstrated decentralized training with its INTELLECT-1 open model run. In February 2025, Prime Intellect raised a $15M Series A led by Founders Fund, bringing total funding to over $20M to advance its open-superintelligence-stack thesis.
