Participants will kick off by running a basic AI agent and giving it core functionality. You’ll then extend your agent with tool-calling capabilities through TypeScript functions—enabling it to perform API calls, calculations, and more. By the end of the challenge, you’ll have a fully working AI agent deployed to Nosana, powered by decentralized GPU infrastructure. Each participant receives $10 USD FREE GPU credits, and the top 3 winning teams will share a total of $1000 USD worth of GPU credits as prizes!
🎉 Wrap up the day with a fun gathering as we announce the winners and celebrate everyone’s builds together.
