Prime Intellect acquires Moondream and folds in Photon inference work
Overview
Prime Intellect says it has acquired Moondream, bringing Moondream's open vision models and inference optimizations into its stack.
Moondream's founders, Vik Korrapati and Jay Allen, join to lead inference and multimodal model work. The company says the combined stack will train and deploy multimodal models across vision, video, voice, decision models and computer use.
Prime Intellect also says it is integrating the Photon team's kernel work to bring that inference technology to more open models and modalities. Moondream 3.1 is now available through Prime Inference, powered by the Photon inference engine, and Moondream Cloud customers will receive platform credits in the next few days. Moondream will keep its brand for small, efficient multimodal models.
