The project utilized more than 10,000 sandboxes, more than 200B GLM-5.3 tokens, and 16,000 inter-agent messages. Prime Intellect used a runtime benchmark suite and a hillclimbing performance strategy to optimize the code, vetting candidate changes through independent reviews and parity checks to move work off startup and render paths.
