Prime Intellect ran its largest multi-agent experiment yet: over two weeks, Prime Agent orchestrated a swarm of 2,000+ agents to rewrite itself in Rust.
Key numbers: 10,000+ sandboxes, 200B+ GLM-5.3 tokens consumed, and 16,000 agent-to-agent messages. The rewrite made Prime Agent reach usable input 13x faster with 83% less startup memory, doubling as a stress test of its agent swarm infrastructure.
