Prime Intellect

Prime Intellect, founded in 2023 by Vincent Weisser and Johannes Hagemann in San Francisco, builds decentralized artificial intelligence compute infrastructure and open-source foundation model training networks. Its platform aggregates global GPU clusters from data centers, crypto miners and compute providers into a unified distributed network, enabling researchers and builders to train frontier AI models collaboratively without centralized cloud lock-in. Backed by prominent AI and crypto venture funds, Prime Intellect values distributed systems craft, open science and advancing permissionless artificial intelligence infrastructure. By democratizing access to high-performance compute clusters, Prime Intellect lowers the cost of frontier AI training, enabling global research collectives to deploy decentralized foundation models on open protocols.
