We're hosting a live challenge inspired by METR's latest evals paper to test the real-world impact of AI coding agents. Half of participants will be randomly assigned to build without AI; the other half will use leading tools like Factory. It's a head-to-head showdown measuring speed, quality, & productivity.
Huge thanks to our sponsors: Factory, Raindrop, & METR. OpenAI & Anthropic will also provide credits for the winners.
Star-studded speakers & judges will be in attendance, including Brian Fioca, Shyamal Anadkat, Marius Buleandra, & Swyx.
Applications are now open! If you know a builder who has to be there, have them apply asap.
This is a fully in-person event.
