News & Updates

• [04/17/26] v0.1.12 is released, featuring a new composable Task/Agent/Environment architecture, upstreamed opencode and RLM harnesses/tasksets, major RLMEnv improvements (context dropping, prompt builder, hardened transport), multi-worker env server support, expanded vf-tui capabilities, and richer eval configuration.
• [03/12/26] v0.1.11 is released, featuring a unified client stack, major RLMEnv and env server reliability improvements, a substantially refined eval TUI, new pass@k and ablation sweep support, and bundled opencode environments.
• [02/10/26] v0.1.10 is released, featuring OpenEnv and BrowserEnv integrations, resumed evals, improved rollout and token tracking, safer sandbox lifecycle behavior, refreshed workspace setup, and opencode harbor improvements.
• [01/08/26] v0.1.9 is released, featuring a number of new experimental environment class types, monitor rubrics for automatic metric collection, improved workspace setup flow, improved error handling, bug fixes, and a documentation overhaul.
• [11/19/25] v0.1.8 is released, featuring a major refactor of the rollout system to use trajectory-based tracking for token-in token-out training across turns, as well as support for truncated or branching rollouts.
• [11/07/25] Verifiers v0.1.7 is released! This includes an improved quickstart configuration for training with prime-rl, a new included "nano" trainer (vf.RLTrainer, replacing vf.GRPOTrainer), and a number of bug fixes and improvements to the documentation.
• [10/27/25] A new iteration of the Prime Intellect Environments Program is live!

Overview

Verifiers is our library for creating environments to train and evaluate LLMs.

Environments contain everything required to run and evaluate a model on a particular task:

• A dataset of task inputs
• A harness for the model (tools, sandboxes, context management, etc.)
• A reward function or rubric to score the model's performance

Environments can be used for training models with reinforcement learning (RL), evaluating capabilities, generating synthetic data, experimenting with agent harnesses, and more.

Verifiers is tightly integrated with the Environments Hub, as well as our training framework prime-rl and our Hosted Training platform.

Getting Started

Ensure you have uv installed, as well as the prime CLI tool:

# install uv
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# install the prime CLI
uv tool install prime
# log in to the Prime Intellect platform
prime login

To set up a new workspace for developing environments, do:

# ~/dev/my-lab
prime lab setup 

This sets up a Python project if needed (with uv init), installs verifiers (with uv add verifiers), creates the recommended workspace structure, and downloads useful starter files:

configs/
├── endpoints.toml      # OpenAI-compatible API endpoint configuration
├── rl/                 # Example configs for Hosted Training
├── eval/               # Example multi-environment eval configs
└── gepa/               # Example configs for prompt optimization
.prime/
└── skills/             # Bundled workflow skills for create/browse/review/eval/GEPA/train/brainstorm
environments/
└── AGENTS.md           # Documentation for AI coding agents
AGENTS.md               # Top-level documentation for AI coding agents
CLAUDE.md               # Claude-specific pointer to AGENTS.md

Alternatively, add verifiers to an existing project:

uv add verifiers && prime lab setup --skip-install

Environments built with Verifiers are self-contained Python modules. To initialize a fresh environment template, do:

prime env init my-env # creates a new template in ./environments/my_env

For OpenEnv integration, use:

prime env init my-openenv --openenv

Then copy your OpenEnv project into environments/my_openenv/proj/ and build the image with:

uv run vf-build my-openenv

This will create a new module called my_env with a basic environment template.

environments/my_env/
├── my_env.py           # Main implementation
├── pyproject.toml      # Dependencies and metadata
└── README.md           # Documentation

Environment modules should expose a load_environment function which returns an instance of the Environment object, and which can accept custom arguments. For example:

# my_env.py
import verifiers as vf

def load_environment(dataset_name: str = 'gsm8k') -> vf.Environment:
    dataset = vf.load_example_dataset(dataset_name) # 'question'
    async def correct_answer(completion, answer) -> float:
        completion_ans = completion[-1]['content']
        return 1.0 if completion_ans == answer else 0.0
    rubric = Rubric(funcs=[correct_answer])
    env = vf.SingleTurnEnv(dataset=dataset, rubric=rubric)
    return env

To install the environment module into your project, do:

prime env install my-env # installs from ./environments/my_env

To install an environment from the Environments Hub into your project, do:

prime env install primeintellect/math-python

To run a local evaluation with any OpenAI-compatible model, do:

prime eval run my-env -m openai/gpt-5-nano # run and save eval results locally

Evaluations use Prime Inference by default; configure your own API endpoints in ./configs/endpoints.toml.

View local evaluation results in the terminal UI:

prime eval tui

To publish the environment to the Environments Hub, do:

prime env push --path ./environments/my_env

To run an evaluation directly from the Environments Hub, do:

prime eval run primeintellect/math-python
