Open Source Computer Use Hackathon

We’re inviting an exclusive group of local builders to spend a day at the first computer use hackathon in San Francisco. Join us to build cool projects with open source AI & computer use. It can be anything from fine-tuning models to improved verification and data collection to full end-to-end projects. Throughout the hackathon, you will get unlimited access to both KERNEL’s open source infrastructure and Tzafon’s computer use model series. Schedule 9:30am: Doors open (please arrive on time before 10 am) 10:00am: Intro panel on the state of computer useMarius Buleandra, Member of Technical Staff, Anthropic Simon Koser, Co-founder, Tzafon Catherine Jue, CEO & Co-founder, KERNEL 10:30am: Start hacking 12:00pm: Lunch served (🍕 Pizza / 🥬 Salads available) 4:00pm: Final submissions 4:30pm: Winner presented 4:45pm: Post-event social mixer Prizes 1st place: $10k + $10k in credits 2nd-5th place: $1k + $5k in credits Teams Teams up to 5. Solo applicants will be pre-matched with a team. Signup Because we have limited space we're asking that you change your RSVP if anything changes after you've signed up. If you are applying as a team, please add all your teammates when signing up (group ticket). About the organizers Tzafon Tzafon trains superhuman computer use action models that continuously learn. KERNEL Kernel builds crazy fast, open source infra for agents to access the internet SF Compute SF Compute runs large-scale, vetted GPU clusters. Need H100s for an hour? B300s for two years? You got it. Need to cancel? Just sell back what you don't need. Nvidia Hardware and software for model training and inference, supports this event with compute and their open source runtime ecosystem such as OpenShell.
