INTELLECT-3
VerifiedPrime-intellect's closed LLM handles extended text contexts with precision.
About INTELLECT-3
INTELLECT-3 is built as a proprietary LLM focused on text modality. Its 131072-token context window enables ingestion of lengthy documents while preserving narrative flow. Prime-intellect maintains full control over the weights and training pipeline.
The architecture prioritizes stable performance across extended sequences without requiring users to manage open-source deployment. Typical usage includes research analysis, content synthesis, and enterprise workflows where data confidentiality matters. Organizations select it when closed-source guarantees and large context capacity align with operational needs.

Quick start
OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. Only the model slug changes between models.
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "prime-intellect/intellect-3",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);Model slug: prime-intellect/intellect-3
