Andrew Curran@AndrewCurran_XPrime Agent swarm rewrites itself in Rust, reaching input 13x fasterAIPrime Intellect says Prime Agent used a swarm of over 2,000 agents to rewrite itself end to end in Rust over two weeks. The rewrite ran across 10,000+ sandboxes and over 200 billion GLM-5.3 tokens, and the company says usable input now arrives about 13 times faster with 83% less startup memory.

AIPrime Intellect says its Prime Agent Rust had the lowest time to usable input, startup memory, and installed size among six agent harnesses it benchmarked. The rewrite splits the codebase into nine crates with enforced dependency boundaries, and changes to shared protocol types are checked across the client, daemon, and session workers.

AIPrime Intellect says its Prime Agent orchestrated over 2,000 agents over two weeks to rewrite the agent in Rust. The run used more than 10,000 sandboxes, over 200B GLM-5.3 tokens, and 16,000 agent-to-agent messages. The company says the rewritten agent reaches usable input about 13 times faster and uses 83% less startup memory.

AIPrime Intellect says it rewrote its Prime Agent coding tool in Rust, using a swarm of more than 2,000 agents over two weeks. The company reports cold start to typing about 13 times faster than the TypeScript version, and memory use over 80% lower after startup. Prime Agent remains open source and adds native Windows support in beta and Homebrew installation.
