Prime Intellect builds open, decentralized AI - peer-to-peer training, distributed GPU compute, and open frontier models. Hiring ML research, distributed systems, and platform engineering globally.
About Prime Intellect
Prime Intellect is the open AI research lab building decentralized, peer-to-peer training of frontier models. The company runs distributed GPU clusters that span multiple cloud and self-hosted data centers, and has shipped open models including INTELLECT-1 (the first 10B-parameter model trained fully across geographically distributed nodes) and follow-on intellect releases. Prime Intellect also operates a GPU compute marketplace that aggregates capacity from idle clusters and partner providers.
Open roles span ML research (pretraining, reinforcement learning, post-training), distributed systems engineering (low-latency networking, gradient synchronization, fault tolerance), GPU infrastructure, platform and product engineering (TypeScript, Python, Rust), and applied AI. Prime Intellect hires globally with a remote-first culture and small in-person hubs; most engineering and research roles are open to candidates with US or EU time-zone overlap.
