Prime Intellect

Prime Intellect is an AI infrastructure and research company that calls itself the open superintelligence stack. Its site does not give a founding date or headquarters, though its careers section hires in San Francisco or remotely. Its backers listed include Founders Fund, Radical, NVIDIA, Intel and several well-known AI researchers. On 13 October 2026 it announced that it had acquired Moondream, whose cloud service shuts on 13 November 2026.

What it does

The company sells an integrated platform for training and running custom models. Lab covers reinforcement learning environments, hosted training and post-training. Evaluations offers hosted benchmarking. Inference provides hosted models and a gateway behind one API compatible with OpenAI's. Compute rents GPUs on demand or in reserved clusters. It also runs an Environment Hub with more than 2,500 open-source reinforcement learning environments, and publishes open-source tools including Verifiers, prime-rl and Sandboxes.

Who it serves

Prime Intellect is aimed at teams that want to train and improve their own models and agents rather than rely only on a general model. Customers featured on its site are Ramp, Zapier, Extropic and Goodfire.

Key facts

Prime Intellect is based in San Francisco. GeekWire reported that it raised a $130 million Series A led by Radical Ventures in July and passed $100 million in annualised revenue. The company says Moondream was one of its earliest customers. It plans to bring Moondream's Photon inference engine and kernel work into its own stack, and its Prime Inference service now serves Moondream 3.1. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Moondream's co-founders Vik Korrapati and Jay Allen join Prime Intellect to lead its inference and multimodal work.
