A note of thanks · Scale boundary

# Prime Intellect

Prime Intellect helps us map the work that distributed training can absorb and the coordination a single machine never sees. That is a learning boundary, not a local reproduction plan.

01 · The idea

## What stayed with us

Prime Intellect helps us map the work that distributed training can absorb and the coordination a single machine never sees. That is a learning boundary, not a local reproduction plan.

02 · The local translation

## What we did with it

Prime Intellect is part of our single-machine-to-cluster map. Distributed reinforcement learning shows how a training workload can use parallel environments and tolerate coordination costs differently from a token-by-token inference request.

03 · The boundary

## Where the comparison stops

This is a scale lesson, not a plan to reproduce frontier compute on one Mac. Our local factory keeps its small, inspectable target and records where memory, bandwidth, and available accelerators set hard limits.
