Prime Intellect: INTELLECT-3

POST/v1/chat/completions

INTELLECT-3 is a 106B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model (12B active) post-trained from GLM-4.5-Air-Base using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by large-scale reinforcement learning (RL). It offers state-of-the-art performance for its size across math, code, science, and general reasoning, consistently outperforming many larger frontier models. Designed for strong multi-step problem solving, it maintains high accuracy on structured tasks while remaining efficient at inference thanks to its MoE architecture.

Request body

Parameters supported by this model. Values, defaults, and limits are read from the model registry.

stringmodelrequired

Model identifier. Set to prime-intellect/intellect-3.

Default: prime-intellect/intellect-3

array<object>messagesrequired

Conversation messages in system, user, or assistant order.

Optional<integer>max_tokens

Maximum number of tokens the model may generate in the response.

Range: −∞ to 131072

Optional<number>temperature

Sampling temperature. Lower values are more deterministic; higher values are more creative.

Range: 0 to 2

Default: 1

Optional<number>top_p

Nucleus sampling threshold. Use this or temperature, but usually not both.

Range: 0 to 1

Optional<boolean>stream

When true, returns incremental Server-Sent Events instead of one completed response.

Default: false

Optional<array>tools

Tool definitions that the model may call during the response.

Optional<string>tool_choice

Controls whether the model may call a tool and, when supported, which tool it must call.

Optional<object>response_format

Controls the response format, including JSON mode or structured JSON output when supported.

Optional<number>presence_penalty

Penalizes tokens that already appeared, encouraging the model to introduce new topics.

Range: -2 to 2

Optional<number>frequency_penalty

Penalizes repeated tokens, reducing repetition in the generated response.

Range: -2 to 2

Optional<integer>top_k

Request parameter supported by this model.

Range: 0 to ∞

Response Schema

Fields returned by this model API response.

array<object>choicesrequired

Generated completion choices.

stringidrequired

Unique chat completion identifier.

stringmodelrequired

Model that generated the response.

Optional<object>usage

Token usage when available.

Model capabilities

array<string>capability_tagsrequired

Capabilities declared by the model registry.

Default: chat, reasoning, structured_output, function_calling

integercontext_lengthrequired

Maximum context window accepted by this model.

Default: 131072 tokens

stringexecution_moderequired

Execution mode declared by the model registry.

Default: sync
