Spend 2 days training AI Chess bots on GPUs in SF.
Mega Chess Hackathon Overview:
Get hands-on with rapid neural network training using Strong Compute's Instant SuperComputer (ISC) in our Mega Chess Hackathon!
Compete over two days to build the best chess-playing AI with access to 48 GPU clusters & explore models, datasets, & hyperparameters.
Details:
Prize: $10k-$100k compute grant for open-source AI research.
Challenge: Train a deep neural network to evaluate chess moves based on game history & board states.
Resources: StockFish-evaluated board states, historic game PGNs, & code examples.
Compute: Dedicated GPU access via the ISC platform.
Judging: Tournament-style model face-off.
Accepted participants will get the full task, dataset, & model specifics a week before. Register today to get a head start!
Participant Requirements:
Experience with PyTorch & cluster training is preferred but not mandatory.
