About Prime Intellect

Seed50 Employees

Prime Intellect builds the infrastructure that frontier AI labs build internally, and makes it available to everyone. Our platform, Lab, unifies environments, evaluations, sandboxes, and high-performance training into a single full-stack system for post-training at frontier scale, from RL and SFT to tool use, agent workflows, and deployment. We validate everything by using it ourselves, training open state-of-the-art models on the same stack we put in your hands. We're looking for people who want to build at the intersection of frontier research and real infrastructure.
