Congratulations to the Prime Intellect team on the launch. I will quote from the blog: 'The current zeitgeist believes a few big labs will automate all knowledge work, own the intelligence layer, and control the future direction of AI. We don't find this future inspiring, nor do we think it's inevitable. We believe in the decade of agents, where taking models the “last mile” across all verticals of the economy will be a very arduous process, and will require a continuous feedback loop between the real world; Tesla autopilot is a good analogy here, where the iteration cycle between deployment and model improvements took years to get it ready for full autonomy. The same story will play out for agentic models. The big labs realize this, they need you to teach their models how to integrate into your workforce and workflows. They need you to do the last-mile work with skills, scaffolds, and prompts. But they're not giving you the tools you need. They're adamant about owning the intelligence layer, owning the optimization loop, and closing off their models behind a black box. As long as you depend on their closed APIs and closed models, you don't have sovereignty over your intelligence. While they're doing everything they can to convince you to build on their models, despite telling everyone they’d steamroll them, and wanting to gain full control over the future of AI, we are taking the complete opposite approach. We give you full control and ownership over your models. We don't want you locked into our APIs, we're not asking you to share your reasoning traces, and we don't want to accumulate all the money and compute. We want you to build your own models, control your own intelligence, and have a stake in the superintelligence buildout — so we can collectively shape the future of AI we want to exist. We want a free and open market of creators, startups and companies to outcompete the big labs in every vertical, and have full ownership in the upside in the process. This is not just a missionary plan, but it’s also a winning strategy.'
