## The use case: how Prima Mente deploys Nebius AI Cloud

Prima Mente trains large biological foundation models (the Pleiades series) on methylation and other multi-omic data using a reserved multi-node GPU cluster on Nebius. The cluster supports long pre-training runs and experiments as the team scales model size.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Nebius AI Cloud and Prima Mente, not ours.

> With a 32-GPU reserved cluster in Nebius, Prima Mente amped up pre-training throughput by 12%, processing 1.19 million tokens/s on 16 nodes, a critical step in their goal toward scaling model size from 7B up beyond 100B parameters.

- **10x**: “low-level optimizations resulted in a 10x scale-up of Prima Mente's ablation model from 1B to 10B parameters in just a few weeks”
- **1.19 million tokens/s**: “processing 1.19 million tokens/s on 16 nodes”

> Having a partner like Nebius that helps us move faster without downtime means we can shorten training cycles,
