​2024 marks many developments on the frontier of Gen AI Video. We’d love to add to that narrative - with YOU involved! ​We’re really happy to bring you “Prompts, Camera, Action” - showcasing together SF’s creativity and technical prowess to push the frontier on what’s possible. ​Consumer and Prosumer: AI has been shown to help democratize accessibility for people everywhere across a variety of use cases. We want to make an impact on both professionals and hobbyists alike. ​We’re Open Source First: On the theme of democratizing, and in the spirit of hacker culture, we’re going to open source as much of participant projects possible - with the intention to continue this effort post[event. We've got compute, APIs for model endpoints, and a backlog of creative ideas ready to be generated. ​ 🔥 We'll explore 2 tracks: App Development and ML Engineering ​Build a user interface/app around design a workflow with sponsored AI model API endpoints provided at the hackathon. ​1st Place - $1,750, $250 credits on CivitAI ​2nd Place - $1,250, $150 credits on CivitAI ​3rd Place - $500, $100 credits on CivitAI ​AI Models Fine-tune models provided with datasets and compute resources. We'll compare results to base model weights. ​1st Place - $4,000, $8,000 GPU credits on Vast AI ​2nd Place - $2,000, $4,000 GPU credits on Vast AI ​3rd Place - $1,000, $2,000 GPU credits on Vast AI ​4 runner ups - $500, $1,000 GPU credits on Vast AI ​Speakers include: ​Shaw Walters, CTO and Eric Sheen (ML Eng) at Deep AI ​Jake Cannell, CEO at Vast AI ​Matty Shimura, Executive Producer AI Film and TV, CivitAI ​Gorkem Yurtseven, Cofounder at FAL ​Johannes Hagemann, Cofounder at Prime Intellect ​Alex Mashrabov, Founder at Higgsfield AI ​Leonie Engel, Head of Growth at Pika Labs ​... and more TBA! ​Thanks to partners for helping us bring the magic to life! ​Vast.ai - Peer to Peer GPU Marketplace!
