About the Company
- Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack, the infrastructure frontier AI labs build internally, made available to every ambitious AI team.
- Their platform, Lab, unifies compute, environments, evaluations, secure sandboxes, high-performance training, and deployment into one full-stack system for post-training at frontier scale.
- They are building open frontier AI: open-source models trained end to end for long-horizon tasks like autonomous research, and the full-stack platform their own research team uses to build them.
- The next generation of AI companies, enterprises, and research teams need the ability to turn their own workflows, tools, data, and feedback loops into superintelligence they own.
- Prime Intellect has raised $150M in total funding from Founders Fund, Radical Ventures, NVIDIA, and exceptional AI, infrastructure, and enterprise operators.
