Overview
Summary based only on public pages and docs referenced: Platform goal is to enable an “open superintelligence” / decentralized AI ecosystem by combining a multi-cloud compute marketplace (Compute Cloud / Compute Exchange), an Environments Hub for RL tasks, and decentralized training infrastructure and protocols (INTELLECT series, PRIME protocol). Compute: aggregates GPUs across major clouds into a single interface, supports multi-node clusters (claims scale to 64+ H100 multi-node), Docker-ready workloads, 1-click deploy, cross-cloud GPU price/availability scoring, and marketing claims of “no extra fees” (pay as if direct to clouds). Decentralized training & protocols: public INTELLECT initiatives (INTELLECT-1, INTELLECT-2, etc.) and PRIME protocol testnet referenced; claims decentralized training of 10B-parameter models and ongoing scaling. Environments Hub: community-driven repository for RL environments, verifiers, sandboxes, and tooling for training/evaluation. Datasets & research: references to SYNTHETIC-2 and collaborative datasets/reasoning-trace projects. Documentation and developer resources include cross-cloud GPU discovery, inference quickstart (API/CLI/OpenAI-compatible API, token-based billing), environments packaging/publishing guides, and contribution guidelines for compute contributors (self-hosting, worker software, integrity rules, slashing/bans). Public announcements reference platform introduction, compute deep-dive, fundraise (~$15M round announced in blog), and Environments Hub launch. Authentication: API keys generated in Account → API Keys; CLI recommended; team accounts use X-Prime-Team-ID header for team credits. Community: Discord and other social channels referenced. Security: vulnerability reporting via [email protected] and PGP public key; canonical security pages linked. Pricing notes: inference uses usage/token-based billing (charged for input and output tokens) with no explicit per-token rates shown on the inference overview page reviewed; compute marketing claims competitive pricing and “no extra fees” but no canonical public per-GPU hourly price sheet was found on pages reviewed. Gaps identified: no complete public compute price sheet, no explicit per-token rates found on the inference overview page, some live API examples not collected, and exact GitHub repo URLs were not copied. Links and next-step actions were collected and are included separately. This description is limited to the public information and links provided in the source text; no additional facts or unverifiable claims were added.
Key Features
Multi-cloud Compute Marketplace (Compute Cloud / Compute Exchange)
Aggregates GPUs across major clouds into one interface, offers multi-node clusters, Docker-ready workloads, 1-click deploy, and cross-cloud price/availability scoring; marketing claims “no extra fees.”
Decentralized Training & Protocols
Public INTELLECT initiatives (INTELLECT-1, INTELLECT-2, etc.) and PRIME protocol testnet demonstrating decentralized training efforts, including claimed 10B+ model training.
Environments Hub for RL
Community-driven repository and tooling for RL environments, verifiers, sandboxes, and integrated training/evaluation workflows to standardize open RL tasks.
Inference API & CLI
OpenAI-compatible API and CLI quick-starts; API keys created via account; team header (X-Prime-Team-ID) for team credits; billing is token-based (input/output tokens).
Datasets & Research Projects
References to collaborative datasets such as SYNTHETIC-2 and reasoning-trace projects used for benchmarking and research efforts.
Contribution & Integrity Guidelines
Guidance for compute contributors including self-hosting, worker software, integrity rules, and slashing/bans for violations.
Who Can Use This Tool?
- Developers:Build and deploy models using multi-cloud GPUs, CLI and API integrations, and contribute environments or tooling.
- Researchers:Run decentralized training experiments, access collaborative datasets, and use Environments Hub for benchmarking.
- Compute providers:Join the compute marketplace, self-host worker software, and follow contribution/integrity guidelines to earn from supplying resources.
