The era of simple chatbots is over. Real AI applications need to access live data, write their own code, autonomously manage their own state, & run reliably in the cloud.

The Agent Forge AI Hackathon gives you the ultimate stack to ship production-ready AI agents in one day. Assemble a team of one to six people - or go solo - & build, test, & deploy a working AI Agent solution together. We are moving beyond local prototypes. If it doesn't deploy & manage real data, it doesn't count.

The Challenge
Build an AI agent or a swarm of agents that solves a real-world problem.

Your Agent Forge agent should be able to gather intelligence, autonomously process information, build with professional-grade tooling & live on the web. You're free to come up with your own idea. The only requirement: your project must be built on the partner stacks below & deployed live by demo time.

The Stack (Your Arsenal)
You will have access to premium credits & tools from our innovation partners to build your Agent Forge solution:

AgentField: The open-source AI backend. Define an agent, add one decorator, & you have production-ready micro services with async execution, shared memory, & live observability - fully deployed. Multi-agent coordination is one line of code. No extra infrastructure, no glue code. Your agents reason. Your infrastructure governs

Actionbook: The browser action engine for AI agents. Equip your agents with up-to-date action manuals & verified DOM selectors to operate any website instantly. Eliminate guesswork & brittle scraping, empowering your agents to seamlessly handle modern web apps, SPAs, & complex workflows with unbreakable resilience & speed.

Bright Data: Give your assistant the ability to browse the web. Build custom web-scraping "skills" into your agents to fetch real-time data, monitor trends, or aggregate research automatically using reliable, large-scale infrastructure.

Nosana: Supercharge your compute with Nosana's decentralized GPUs to run specialized AI models. Use them to run tasks, process heavy data workloads, or host custom local models for your assistant affordably.

Qwen Cloud: The official platform for the Qwen model family. Access state-of-the-art open-source & proprietary models optimized for deep reasoning & agentic coding. Empower your agents to process multimodal information & seamlessly execute complex real-world workflows.

Qoder: The agentic coding platform built for real-world software development. Move from simple assistance to true autonomy using features like Expert Panel Mode to assemble a specialized AI engineering team, & Repo Wiki to instantly surface implicit codebase knowledge.

TokenRouter: a unified routing platform offering seamless access to the top AI models worldwide. It delivers faster, better, & cheaper performance via smart caching.

Zeabur: Spin up a dedicated server on Zeabur to deploy your app, debug DevOps questions with Zeabur agent & use the web interfaces with a single click, ensuring your project is live, accessible, & scalable.

Z.ai: Creators of the frontier GLM model family. GLM5.1 is its latest frontier large language model, built as a SOTA opensource model for longhorizon tasks with Opuslevel reasoning depth. Build websites, create slides, analyze data, & get instant answers.

Team Format
Form a team of 1-6 people. Teams can blend different skill sets - developers, designers, business minds - to tackle bigger, more ambitious projects.

Prizes
All winning teams will earn a share of exclusive hackathon prizes, including sponsored credits & tools from our partners to keep building & scaling their projects.

Who Should Come?
You want to build AI agents that access the real internet, not just static datasets. You want to deploy something live, not just run it on localhost. You want to connect with the Silicon Valley AI community & the AI Builders network.

Whether you're a developer, a designer, or a business builder - if you want to ship a real AI project in a day with a team, this is your event.

Organized By
AI Builders: A premier community of AI builders, developers, & innovators in Singapore, Tokyo, & San Francisco Bay Area. Prototype real products with fellow builders, ship features weekly, & trade production-tested playbooks.

Beta Fund: Beta Fund is an early-stage venture fund based in Palo Alto, backing the builders shaping the AI era. We partner with exceptional technical founders at the inception stage. Our focus spans agentic AI, AI-native systems, & AI-powered vertical SaaS-the foundational layers of the next software epoch.

Llama Ventures: Llama Ventures is an early-stage venture firm backing ambitious founders building AI-native companies by providing deep technical expertise & strategic capital across the intelligence stack to transform innovation into market reality.

Limited spots available. Register now.
