In the news - A Decentralized AI Revolution: 32B Parameter Model Trained By Global Computer Network
INTELLECT-2 has shattered AI training paradigms by becoming the first large language model trained through globally distributed reinforcement learning. Unlike traditional centralized approaches requiring massive co-located GPU clusters, this groundbreaking 32B parameter model leverages a permissionless swarm of heterogeneous computing resources from contributors worldwide.
The team built PRIME-RL, an asynchronous framework that efficiently coordinates untrusted inference workers across unreliable networks, alongside TOPLOC for verification and SHARDCAST for weight distribution. This open-source effort demonstrates that decentralized AI can scale effectively, potentially democratizing access to frontier model training while reducing dependence on centralized infrastructure.
With plans to incorporate tool-assisted reasoning and crowdsourced environments, INTELLECT-2 represents just the beginning of a new path toward truly distributed artificial intelligence development.
