Prime Intellect and HiDream.ai Join the Unicorn Club

Prime Intellect, a platform for training models and agents, raised a $130 million Series A led by Radical Ventures that valued the two-year-old San Francisco company at $1 billion. Separately, Beijing multimodal model developer HiDream.ai raised a $222 million Series C at the same valuation, according to Crunchbase, which TechCrunch included in its running list of 2026 unicorns.
