San Francisco, CA – Prime Intellect, a company focused on democratizing AI development through decentralized platforms, is actively recruiting talent from Europe to contribute to its open and distributed Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) initiatives. Vincent Weisser, Co-Founder and CEO of Prime Intellect, recently announced the recruitment drive on social media, emphasizing the company's hybrid work model and support for US O1 visas for international hires.
"If you're in Europe and want to work on open and distributed AGI, apply to us at @PrimeIntellect," Weisser stated in the tweet. "We're hybrid, large part of the team is based in SF and parts are remote and come to SF frequently. We sponsor US o1 visas."
Founded in 2023 by Johannes Hagemann and Vincent Weisser, Prime Intellect aims to commoditize compute and intelligence, enabling collaborative training of state-of-the-art AI models. The company has successfully raised $20.5 million in total funding across two rounds, backed by investors including Founders Fund, CoinFund, and Distributed Global. Their platform aggregates global compute resources, allowing for distributed training across clusters and promoting collective ownership of AI innovations.
The company's mission is to accelerate open and decentralized AI progress, with an ultimate goal of achieving openly accessible AGI that benefits everyone. Prime Intellect has already released models like INTELLECT-1, a 10-billion-parameter language model trained collaboratively, and INTELLECT-2, a 32-billion-parameter decentralized RL training run. They are actively developing projects focused on open language models, coding agents, and scientific discovery models.
Prime Intellect offers competitive compensation, significant equity, and token incentives to attract top talent. The hybrid work arrangement, with a central hub in San Francisco and remote team members frequently visiting, provides flexibility while fostering collaboration. The provision of US O1 visa sponsorship underscores the company's commitment to recruiting a global workforce for its ambitious AGI development.
