Build a working AI system on open, independent infrastructure, and own the whole thing. The NVIDIA x Nebius Global AI Hackathon is for AI builders, ML engineers, founders, and anyone shipping practical, high-performance AI. You'll build with NVIDIA open source models served on Nebius through Nebius Token Factory, on high performance GPU infrastructure. Experiment with new ideas, push the boundaries of open source AI, and submit a project for a chance to win prizes and recognition. Join fellow builders for technical onboarding, casual workshops, team formation, focused build time, and feedback as you participate in the Global AI Hackathon. Find your nearby city/event here! Requirements The Challenge All submissions must run on either Nebius Token Factory or Nebius AI Cloud and use at least one NVIDIA open source model. Everything else is up to you. What to Build Whether it is an app, agent, or something entirely new, your project should fit into one of the following tracks: Coding and Agentic Engineering TrackBuild coding agents and developer tools: agents that write, run, and test code in Token Factory. Best Apps and Agents Track Build any app or agent someone would actually use, from a productivity tool or copilot to a workflow that runs itself. Power it with Nemotron models on Nebius through Token Factory. Reach for Nemotron 3 Ultra when you need serious reasoning, and let Nano or Super handle the fast, everyday calls, so your app stays responsive and your credits stretch further. We encourage you to deploy your application with Nebius Serverless Endpoints, or use Nebius Serverless Jobs for background processing and asynchronous workflows, though neither is required. Personal AI TrackBuild an always-on, private assistant that works for you while keeping your data under your control. Give it persistent memory, reusable skills, access to the tools and information you choose, and the ability to carry out tasks across your daily workflows. Use at least one NVIDIA open source model, and use tools such as NVIDIA NemoClaw, OpenShell, Hermes Agent, and Nebius Serverless to bring personal AI to assemble, secure, and run your own personal AI system. Physical AI TrackBuild embodied and edge agents that sense and act in the real world: robotics, IoT, and on-device intelligence, powered by Nemotron, GROOT, Cosmos and Sonic models and coordinated through an agent runtime. Use Nebius Serverless Jobs to run simulations, generate synthetic data, evaluate robot policies, or process sensor data at scale, and Nebius Serverless Endpoints to serve real-time inference when needed. Your demonstration video must include at least a 1-minute clip showing the physical hardware/robot actually operating, or — if your project has no physical hardware component — the key application modules in action.
