Excited to launch Prime Sandboxes: microVMs for large-scale agentic RL training.
We couldn’t find sandboxes that could handle the scale of our RL training, so we built our own.

Prime Intellect
Introducing Prime Sandboxes:
MicroVM sandboxes purpose-built for RL training.
Model training requires running tens of thousands of concurrent sandboxes, leading to complex and costly configuration. We built Prime Sandboxes for our own team. Today we're releasing them publicly.

EPISODE 03 // WISDOM OF THE CROWD
Pick a route home. Fastest? Scenic? The wrong turn?
Whatever you choose, you went with what spoke to you. Your neurons do the same thing 86 billion times over.

Fantastic Research Day on sleep. Special thanks to all speakers!!
Couple interesting insights:
- ARPAH is funding the collection of a gigantic dataset on 100M EHR records to disentangle sleep's pathology. This will be massively helpful for tx translation efforts
- With tx routes we like targeting AD/PD via SWS + glymphatic clearance a core issue pharma wants to see for trials is subtyping/patient selection
- Habituation/homeostatic adjustment would also be a concern for even the best tx ideas

We just confirmed two new speakers!
Stanford researcher on her mechanistic work on brain circuits that drive sleep regulation
And UCSF epidemiologist on her evidence for the link between sleep & AD/PD
You won't find more wisdom about sleep in one room

I have rode in almost every AV since 2016 and the Wayve Mercedes was one of the most mindblowing drives I’ve experienced in my life.
Excited for the rest of the world to get to experience it soon.
Today @wayve_ai and @MercedesBenz are announcing a global strategic partnership! Through this definitive production agreement, we’ll bring our AI Driver to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles starting in the next two years.
This is the world's first integration of the Wayve AI Driver in the premium segment and is the third production deal we’ve announced for consumer cars in the last 9 months. It builds on Mercedes’ strategic investment in our Series D and years of technical collaboration between our teams.
Mercedes is an iconic company with a strong reputation for automotive innovation and engineering excellence - they built the world's first car in 1886! I couldn’t be prouder to build the future of autonomous driving together. Thank you to the entire Mercedes team.
