The VAST Builders Challenge is a three-city technical event series bringing together founders & engineers across New York, London, & San Francisco to build production-ready AI systems.
Spend the day building agents to unlock the value of video. Because video is hard to search & analyze, most of it stays in storage, unwatched & underused.
Experiment with the latest AI infrastructure, collaborate with other ambitious builders, & turn your ideas into shippable prototypes - with access to expert guidance, compute, & the tools you need to ship.
Hosted with VAST Data in collaboration with NVIDIA, SpaceXAI, CoreWeave & Weights & Biases.
Note: Registration closes on Oct 6th.
Prizes
1st place: NVIDIA DGX Spark
HuggingFace Microduck

Cash Gift Cards
The Builders Stack
You don't have to worry about starting from scratch, we've set it up for you:
Video understanding: reason over a video clip with NVIDIA Cosmos.
Semantic search: find moments across hours of footage using natural language.
Object detection: real-time detection & tracking across frames with YOLO.
General-purpose LLMs: models from Weights & Biases to power your application logic (e.g. video agents).
The VAST AI OS orchestrates the video ingestion & data layer, models are served on CoreWeave GPUs, & builders ship with Cursor.
Build your own video agent or something no one's thought of. We'll share the videos to get you started on building video agents.
Judges

Who should attend
Developers, ML/AI engineers, agent builders, & data engineers, from startups to enterprise teams working with video or multimodal AI.
While individuals are welcome, we encourage teams of up to four members & will prioritize team applications. You can form a team on the day of the event or arrive with one already assembled.
Applications are required. Space is limited. Registration closes one week prior to the event.
