Prime Intellect ran its largest multi-agent test yet: over two weeks, Prime Agent orchestrated a swarm of 2,000+ agents to rewrite itself in Rust.
Key numbers:
- 10,000+ sandbox environments
- 200B+ GLM-5.3 tokens consumed
- 16,000 agent-to-agent messages
The rewrite made Prime Agent reach usable input 13x faster and cut startup memory by 83%. The run also stress-tested the infrastructure powering its agent swarms.
