INTELLECT is a model family from Prime Intellect36, with 2 assessed releases in this catalog. Licenses and availability are recorded for each release, not for the family; its releases use the MIT License.
INTELLECT is Prime Intellect's series of open-weight models. INTELLECT-1 is a 10B model trained from scratch on 1 trillion tokens with compute from distributed community contributors; INTELLECT-2 is a 32B model produced by a distributed reinforcement-learning run on QwQ-32B; INTELLECT-3 (November 2025) is a 106B mixture-of-experts model (12B active) post-trained from GLM-4.5-Air-Base with supervised fine-tuning and large-scale RL; and INTELLECT-3.1 continues INTELLECT-3 with further RL.12345

What it is useful for
Organization context
Provenance and derivatives
INTELLECT-1 was trained from scratch by Prime Intellect. INTELLECT-2 was trained from Qwen's QwQ-32B, and INTELLECT-3 and INTELLECT-3.1 from GLM-4.5-Air-Base, a base model released by Z.ai (zai-org). Those base models are not catalog members and are not treated as U.S.-developed.1237
- Derived from: QwQ-32B (external site: huggingface.co) — Base model for INTELLECT-2; not a catalog member.
- Derived from: GLM-4.5-Air-Base (external site: huggingface.co) — Base model for INTELLECT-3 and INTELLECT-3.1; not a catalog member.
U.S. eligibility
Eligible · basis: U.S. headquarters
The INTELLECT models are trained and published by Prime Intellect, Inc., a Delaware corporation with U.S. locations (see the prime-intellect record). For releases built on third-party base models, eligibility rests on Prime Intellect's own training and does not extend to the base models. Each release is assessed on its own record.38
