Enterprise AI Independence: Prime Intellect's $130M Bet

Prime Intellect raised $130M Series A at $1B valuation to help enterprises build their own AI agents without relying on OpenAI or Anthropic

Key metrics:
- $100M ARR run rate (founded 2024)
- Customers: Ramp, Zapier, Flapping Airplanes
- Ramp's agent beat frontier models on accuracy while cutting costs 10x

Why it matters: Every founder building AI products faces the same choice - rent from frontier labs or own your intelligence

Prime Intellect just proved the latter is viable at scale
