About the challenge
Create the next generation of AI media apps.
The Backblaze Generative AI Media Hackathon challenges developers to build apps for AI-generated video, images, audio, and multimodal media workflows using Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage and Genblaze.
Backblaze B2 is S3-compatible cloud object storage that helps generative media apps store and serve large volumes of generated assets, metadata, provenance records, thumbnails, logs, and application files as part of the media pipeline. Start building for free with 10GB of included B2 storage, then scale as your media workloads grow.
Genblaze is an open source Python SDK from Backblaze for orchestrating generative media workflows across generative media providers such as GMI Cloud, OpenAI, Google, Decart, Runway, Luma, ElevenLabs, Stability Audio, NVIDIA NIM, and others.
GMI Cloud gives developers easy access to open source generative AI models for image, video, audio, chat, reasoning, and multimodal workflows, making it easier to prototype and build AI media applications.
Build something useful, creative, and production-minded. Show how AI-generated media can move from prompt to pipeline to durable storage on Backblaze B2.
Get started
Create a Backblaze B2 account: Backblaze B2 Signup
Create a B2 bucket for your generated media, metadata, and app assets.
Use the Genblaze SDK and star ⭐ the Genblaze GitHub Repository for examples, updates, and releases.
Create a GMI Cloud account and submit the credits request form, if eligible. Use of GMI Cloud is optional, and other cloud providers may be used.
Build and submit your generative AI media app on Devpost before the deadline.
The first 270 eligible participants will receive GMI Cloud credits to access generative AI and open source models for image, video, audio, chat, reasoning, and multimodal workflows.
