Agent Forge AI Hackathon: Build Production AI Systems

Agent Forge Hackathon The era of simple chatbots is over. Real AI applications need to scrape live data, automate workflows, manage infrastructure, and deploy at scale -- all working together in production. If you're ready to build real AI systems, this hackathon is for you. AI Builders is partnering with SMU AI for Agent Forge Hackathon in Singapore-- a hands-on, full-day hackathon where you'll prototype production-grade AI applications using tools from our sponsors. What You'll Do Build a working AI project in one day using sponsored tools and APIsAttend a hands-on workshop to get up to speed before hacking beginsForm teams (up to 6) or go solo -- your callDemo your project live and compete for sponsor credit prizesConnect with builders, engineers, and founders in the Singapore AI community Your AI Stack Bright Data: Give your assistant the ability to browse the web. Build custom web-scraping "skills" into your agents to fetch real-time data, monitor trends, or aggregate research automatically using reliable, large-scale infrastructure. Bright Data Credits: http://get.brightdata.com/aibuilders10 Daytona: an open-source, secure infrastructure platform providing fast, isolated, and stateful composable computers (sandboxes) for AI agents to safely run, test, and develop code. Each hackathon participant will get 100 USD worth of Daytona credits to build. Daytona Credits: See the code in the luma blast below Kimi AI: Providing the kimi-k2.6 API, featuring SOTA coding, cost-efficient context caching, and native agent swarm execution to empower developers building complex, multi-step hackathon solutions. Kimi Credits: See the code in the luma blast below Nosana: Supercharge your compute with Nosana's decentralized GPUs to run specialized AI models. Use them to run tasks, process heavy data workloads, or host custom local models for your assistant affordably. Nosana Credits: https://www.theaibuilders.dev/nosanacredits SenseNova U1: an open-source, native multimodal AI model that seamlessly unifies text understanding, reasoning, and high-fidelity image generation within a single, end-to-end architecture. While its SenseNova U1 Skills provide modular expert capabilities to automate complex Excel analysis, PowerPoint creation, and deep research. SenseNova Credits: https://www.theaibuilders.dev/sensenovacredits Terminal 3's Agent Dev Kit: allows developers to equip AI agents with verifiable identity to act and transact on behalf of users without compromising sensitive data. Built on the Terminal 3 Network’s hardware-secured TEEs, it provides autonomous AI workflows with the trust and security guarantees they need. TokenRouter: a unified routing platform offering seamless access to the top AI models worldwide. It delivers faster, better, and cheaper performance via smart caching. TokenRouter Credits: See the code in the luma blast below VideoDB: Data infrastructure for video, built for machines and agents - Turn camera feeds, live streams, files, and recordings into searchable context, real-time alerts, clips, and agent workflows.
