Welcome to the Lightning Fast AI Hackathon!

Imagine a world where AI agents are not only intelligent like OpenAI's o1, but also lightning fast. A world where autonomous agents can think, react, and automate in real-time, revolutionizing industries and transforming lives. Welcome to the Lightning Fast AI Hackathon, where you'll have the chance to build the AI agents of the future using the fastest open-source models on the planet!

The Challenge: Unlock the Potential of Autonomous Agents

Current AI agents are slow, cumbersome, and limited by their inability to process information quickly. But with SambaNova Cloud, you'll have access to the best open-source models, including Llama 405B, running at inference speeds of over 100 tokens per second - 10X faster than GPUs. This is your chance to unleash the true potential of autonomous agents and create them with responses in close to real-time.

SambaNova Cloud also makes it very simple to build agents and integrate into your applications. Our APIs are OpenAI compatible, which makes them easy to integrate into any existing projects. Simply login into our portal, grab an API key, copy the sample code and you are ready to go. Get Started by heading over to SambaNova Cloud: cloud.sambanova.ai

Why Participate:

This hackathon is your opportunity to take advantage of the incredible speed and versatility of SambaNova Cloud to build the coolest AI agent. Whether you are building a coding copilot, real-time translator, or an AI NPC, we want to see your creativity unleashed when you can build at lightning speed using SambaNova. Additionally, this hackathon is:

• An opportunity to learn how to build your own agent
• A great way to connect with other developers online who are building the coolest Agents
• Your chance to win great prizes for developing the best agents
