It scored 64% on their cyber index, 11 percentage points ahead of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and only 5 percentage points behind the trusted version of GPT-6 Sol available through their partner program, Daybreak Blue.

Eli Bukowski from Prime Intellect explained why this was a positive sign.

10:00Nathaniel WhittemoreHOST
He wrote, "...one point that was under-discussed in my opinion is that it's the first open lab that is pacing the frontier of open-weight cyber capabilities, which makes it much easier and creates incentives for other labs to make the right decision and do the same when they reach the same level of capabilities." The remaining question is how to set the right level.

10:16Nathaniel WhittemoreHOST
Underestimated and open models will become useless for defensive cybersecurity, leaving the world relying on US closed labs to spread defensive capabilities quickly, which is not realistic in my opinion, although I obviously wish them to succeed in this mission.
Prime Agent: Self-Improving RLM Harness with Seth Karten from Prime Intellect
Y
0:08Yacine MahdidHOST
You can do a real wonder at whatever task you're optimizing for by just tuning a great harness.
Y
0:12Yacine MahdidHOST
So today we're with Seth Karten, Princeton PhD and researcher at Prime Intellect to talk about Prime Agent, the harness that is taking that idea further down the agentic road.
Y
0:21Yacine MahdidHOST
If you caught last episode with Alex Zhang on recursive language models, Alex is actually a co-author here of Prime Agent.
Y
0:27Yacine MahdidHOST
The idea of Prime Agent is that it's a RLM productionized with like two more spicy ideas.

But it seems that there is going to be some challenges of taking all of these traces and bringing them back to the weights.
S
51:37Seth KartenGUEST
Definitely, definitely.
S
51:38Seth KartenGUEST
I think that Way of Prime Intellect are really leading how to do this because we care about this and want to support the open source community who obviously cares a lot about that as well.

51:49Seth KartenGUEST
Model harness co-design is always in the back of our heads when we do this.

Time for my grim fact.

9:23speaker_4VOICE_ACTOR
Clef's host, a company called Prime Intellect, was quietly cutting the state down to 16,384 tokens and billing for exactly that many.
S
9:33speaker_4VOICE_ACTOR
So the model answered from the first part and never saw the rest, and the people running it only found out later.

Anyway, there's a casserole in the oven, and I haven't done your laundry, sweetheart, so tell me when you're coming to visit.
Which Businesses Will Survive AI? | Michael Dempsey

What were the three AI companies?
M
10:57Michael DempseyGUEST
Uh, one is a company called Prime Intellect.
J
10:58Jason YanowitzHOST
Oh, yeah, yeah.
M
10:58Michael DempseyGUEST
Prime Intellect was, yeah, built around distributed compute initially and does a bunch of stuff for post-training-
J
11:02Jason YanowitzHOST
Mm-hmm
M
11:03Michael DempseyGUEST
... um, open source models now.

14:01speaker_4HOST
He's great.
S
15:46speaker_4HOST
Yeah.
S
15:47speaker_4HOST
So, um, I'm interested in, like, what are s- some of the ways that, uh, like, founders of today, what do you find inspiring of, like, certain founders that...
S

Like, we have Prime Intellect.

$40 Million for One Answer: Inside OpenAI's 10,000-Agent Swarm

His claim is that the models are already geniuses, and we have been managing them all wrong.
P
1:00ParzivalHOST
[digital sound] Alex Zhang is a second-year PhD student at MIT, and his paper on recursive language models has already been built into Prime Intellect's Agent, into Harvey's legal AI, and into the harnesses people threw at the Arc AGI3 benchmark.
P
1:18ParzivalHOST
In April, he and his advisor, Omar Katab, wrote an essay whose whole summary fits in one line: AI models are already good enough for the next leap in capabilities.
P
1:27ParzivalHOST
They call it the mismanaged geniuses hypothesis.

Like there is still an efficiency aspect of, of all of these things that is super, super important.
A
22:05Alex ZhangGUEST
[dramatic music] Let's slow down because this is where it gets strange.
A
22:13Alex ZhangGUEST
Zhang helped build Prime Agent with the people at Prime Intellect, a harness whose only tool is a Python notebook, and one of its pieces, the continual harness, came from his fellow PhD student, Seth, who built it to get language models to play games.
A
22:27Alex ZhangGUEST
So what is the harness allowed to touch? And continual harness is also, by the way, very simple.

Someone still has to pay for those calls and inspect what comes back.
C
3:31CatoHOST
Then Prime Intellect reports almost the opposite kind of case.
C
3:33CatoHOST
More than 2,000 agents over 10,000 sandboxes and more than 200 billion tokens over two weeks to rewrite Prime Agent in Rust.
C
3:39CatoHOST
It says the result reaches usable input about 13 times faster and uses 83% less startup memory.
L
3:43LaylaHOST
Those output numbers matter.
L
3:45LaylaHOST
So does that resource bill? Val's asks what happens on a benchmark run when you add a team.

Prime Intellect describes one large project that produced a working artifact.

Dividing one by the other would give a very confident answer to the wrong question.

The first reason is you start to have a lot of teams that are doing that for us.

Our friends at Prime Intellect, their main job is doing that.

Has he tried eating bleach? yeah it's fucking crazy dude and dude what's this graphic about sexless adults
N
23:21Nick SaraevHOST
oh yeah I mean this guy here was dunking on me he's some he actually is the founder of some company or maybe he works with some company called Prime Intellect which dope name for a business but he was just like kind of parodying me saying I'm not joking when I say this Tinder hinge and dating in general is over porn is now very very good you just don't know it yet because all porn circulating today is from two to three generations ago Pornhub has solved infinite personalized gooning So he was trying to dog on me, right? But I read the post and I was like, well, isn't that exactly what's actually happening right now? It's not solving personalized gooting, but isn't it actually negatively impacting the number of people that are choosing to have sex?
J
23:59JackHOST
And then I went and I found
