Prime Intellect

Introducing Prime Intellect – democratizing AI development at scale, from compute to intelligence. https://lnkd.in/eMJMG8rd We are excited to announce our $5.5M Seed Round co-led by Distributed Global and CoinFund, with participation from Compound, Collab+Currency, Protocol Labs, and an incredible group of angel investors incl. Clem Delangue (Hugging Face Founder), Dylan Patel (SemiAnalysis Founder), Riva Tez (Layerzero), Erik Voorhees (ShapeShift), Shivani Mitra (Nous Research), Dominik Clemente (Worldcoin), @rjdrost (Eigen Labs), Ben Fielding (Gensyn), ID Theory, Scott Moore (Gitcoin), Andrew Kang (Mechanism Capital), Joe Lallouz (ex Coinbase Cloud), Tyler Golato and Paul Kohlhaas (Molecule), Bool Capital (ex Wormhole), DCFGod, Fabian Wetekamp (Tribute Labs), Steven W. (Orchid), Sami Kassab (OSS), Yonatan Ben Shimon Justin Mares, Janine Leger, Gmoney and many more. 🎉 Fortune covered the exciting news, and we've shared the article in the comments below. Johannes Hagemann and Vincent Weisser started Prime Intellect with the belief that decentralizing AI development is crucial for driving unprecedented progress in high-impact domains such as language models, coding agents, and scientific breakthroughs. By making large-scale AI development more accessible, we aim to unlock a new wave of open AI innovation that benefits all of humanity. Over the past four months, we built Prime Intellect into a platform that aggregates global compute resources and enables researchers to collaboratively train state-of-the-art AI models through distributed training across clusters. Our vision is to democratize AI development, allowing anyone to contribute compute, capital, and code to train open AI models and share in their ownership and benefits. This is just the beginning of our journey, and we are excited to work with our community to build the open future of AI. Our roadmap includes developing robust distributed training frameworks, collaboratively training impactful AI models, and launching a decentralized protocol for collective ownership and governance of AI. We are grateful to have an amazing team that is growing quickly with Kemal Erdem, Sami Jaghouar, Johannes Weniger and Mario S. and early collaborators (researchers, compute providers, and capital contributors), and investors for believing in our mission and joining us on this incredible journey!

With consumer grade GPUs generating data, decentralized AI is bound to flourish.

Excellent discussion coming soon on Decentralized Training hosted by CoinFund and joined by our own Johannes Hagemann 🦋✨

We’re headed to NeurIPS in Vancouver 🇨🇦 Join us on Saturday, December 14, from 5:00-8:00 PM for a deep dive into decentralized training and the journey toward open-source AGI. We’d love to see you there! 🦋✨ Register here: 🔗 https://lu.ma/d4t6ywy4

We are hiring! Join us to scale decentralized training towards open source AGI 🦋 https://lnkd.in/gUWEdWns

We are excited to release INTELLECT-1 — The first 10B parameter model trained across the globe. INTELLECT-1 was built on our open-source PRIME framework to create a scalable foundation for distributed large-scale model training to rival centralized training facilities. INTELLECT-1 was trained with over 1 trillion tokens across three continents using up to 112 H100 GPUs simultaneously, demonstrating that large-scale model training can be achieved through distributed community-driven approaches. By open-sourcing INTELLECT-1's model, checkpoints, and training framework, we invite the global AI community to join us in pushing the boundaries of decentralized training.
