JarvisLabs X Tamilpreneur Hackathon

Jarvis Labs AI Hackathon Build with real GPU compute. Win up to ₹5 Lakhs in GPU credits. This hackathon is open to: AI/ML startups at any stage (idea, prototype, or early product, Developer teams ) working on applied AI problemsSolo builders with a strong technical background. Who is Jarvislabs.ai Jarvislabs.ai is a Bangalore-based, one-click GPU cloud platform built for AI researchers and builders. It gives you instant access to powerful GPUs like A100s and H100s — launch an instance in seconds and start coding right away via JupyterLab, VS Code, or SSH. With per-minute billing and pay-as-you-go pricing, you only pay for what you use. What Can You Build? Practical AI/ML business application that need GPU compute. Here are strong directions to explore: Language & Speech * Speech-to-text or text-to-speech models * Regional language LLMs or fine-tuned models * Multilingual voice assistants or chatbots Vision & Image AI * Automated product photography pipelines * Visual quality inspection or auditing tools * AI-generated imagery for e-commerce or media AI Infrastructure & Tooling * Model fine-tuning pipelines on custom datasets * Cost-efficient inference frameworks * Domain-specific AI APIs (legal, medical, agri, logistics) Business & Vertical AI * AI tools for manufacturing, retail, or supply chain * Predictive analytics with heavy data workloads * Document intelligence and automation Note - This list is a starting point, not a constraint. Final Presentation Selected teams will give a 3-minute walkthrough covering: Working demo — A live or recorded demo of your product or model Problem statement — What problem you're solving, and for whom Technical approach — How you used GPU compute (model, training, inference) Results / metrics — Measurable outcomes (accuracy, speed, cost saved, users served) Scalability plan — How additional compute would take this further and scale your venture. Judging Criteria Projects will be scored on: Problem & impact (25%) — Is it a real, valuable problem worth solving? Technical execution (25%) — How well GPU compute was used; quality of the model/pipeline Results & metrics (20%) — Measurable, credible outcomes Demo & clarity (15%) — How clearly the solution and value come across Scalability (15%) — Potential to grow with more compute. Note: All judging decisions are made solely by the jury panel and are final. We request all participants to respect the outcome in the spirit of the hackathon. This hackathon is part of Tamilpreneur Grand Sangamam 2026. Participation is open exclusively to registered attendees — only those who have purchased a Grand Sangamam ticket are eligible to take part. -- Selection Funnel: Phase 1 (Screening): Open registrations.
