32B AI Model Trained by a Swarm of Volunteer GPUs – Inside INTELLECT-2’s Decentralized Revolution

32B AI Model Trained by a Swarm of Volunteer GPUs – Inside INTELLECT-2’s Decentralized Revolution

In May 2025, the Prime Intellect research team unveiled INTELLECT‑2, a 32-billion-parameter large language model that was trained not on a single data-center supercomputer, but on a globally distributed “swarm” of volunteer GPUs chakra.dev. This makes INTELLECT-2 the first LLM of its scale to be trained via fully asynchronous reinforcement learning across hundreds of heterogenous, permissionless machines contributed by volunteers chakra.dev. In other words, anyone with spare GPU capacity could join the training run – a radical departure from the traditional paradigm of centralized AI training in big-tech clusters. The project demonstrates that reinforcement learning can be scaled up and coordinated over an open network of untrusted nodes, achieving high performance without a centralized supercomputer chakra.dev. As one report summarized, Prime Intellect “trained a 32B parameter language model using fully asynchronous RL across a decentralized network of compute contributors,” proving that large-scale AI “can be built in a fully decentralized, permissionless way – cutting costs, widening access, and matching the performance of conventional clustered training.” infoq.com linkedin.com

Meet “Ammonite” – Fossil World at Solar System’s Edge Challenges Planet Nine Theory

Astronomers have announced the discovery of an extraordinary small world at the outermost fringe of our Solar System. Nicknamed “Ammonite,” this distant object – officially designated 2023 14 – was found beyond Pluto’s orbit and is being hailed as a potential “fossil” from the early Solar System nao.ac.jp. The object lies so far from the Sun that it takes orbiting to extremes: its closest approach to the Sun is about 71 astronomical units away nao.ac.jp. At that distance, Neptune’s gravitational influence wanes, placing Ammonite in a rare class of distant bodies. Ammonite is not a full-fledged planet by formal definition, but rather a type of trans-Neptunian object known as a “sednoid,” a category so elusive that only three others have ever been observed warosu.org. In fact, the discovery was published in Nature Astronomy on July 14, 2025 press.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw press.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw, and by the next day headlines were calling it a new world on the Solar System’s edge warosu.org for its significance.
