A look back at the hackathon.

How the day went

We kicked off with a short intro to the event and a deep dive into the world of AI Operating Systems and Local AI. Then we formed teams, brainstormed and built something great together — from idea to working product, all in one day.

The winning team walked away with eternal glory and a nice prize.

And of course we didn't wrap up without pizza, beer and good conversations. A day full of building, brainstorming and bug fixing. 🍕🍻

A new edition isn't planned yet — follow us or get in touch if you want to be there next time.
