Prize Pool

Invite only. 25 seats. One day. We're bringing 25 hand-picked builders into one room for a single day to build on Qwen, end to end. Every model call in the room runs Qwen: Superlinked's inference engine (SIE) serves the Qwen catalog, and Alibaba Cloud Model Studio serves the frontier stack (qwen-max, Qwen-VL, plus image and video generation). You'll ship on both. This is a private event co-hosted by Superlinked and the Alibaba Cloud Qwen team. Applicants will be hand-picked from the event waitlist, so bring your A-game! What you'll build The main challenge: build anything real around model routing. Every request flows through SIE, and you can offload the heavy tasks to Alibaba Cloud when it makes sense (rewarded in judging). Think routing dashboards, agents doing tool calls across both backends, whatever you can stand up in a day. Two side tracks run alongside it: Visual track: every team explains their build with a Qwen-generated image or video. Best one takes the track.Social track: post publicly about what you're building. Most impressions by judging time wins.
