• Selected finalists will be invited to join an optional in-person finale in San Francisco for the final two days.
• Finalists who participate remotely will have the have the same opportunities to present, compete, and win.

Build and Innovate Across the AI Stack

The most impactful AI today is built across layers, from systems and performance to models, applications, and autonomous agents. This hackathon is designed for builders who want to connect these layers:

• Systems and performance 
• Models and training 
• Applications and user experience 
• Agentic workflows and autonomy 

Whether you are a systems level developer or create intelligent end-user experiences, this is your opportunity to build across the full stack and deliver real-world impact.

Who Should Join?

• Developers and students getting started with AI 
• ML engineers and researchers building models
• System engineers optimizing performance on GPUs
• Builders working on AI applications or agents
