About this hackathon
Open Hackathons are multi-day, hands-on coding events that help developers and researchers accelerate, optimize, and scale their applications on a variety of data center architectures. Attendees work with dedicated mentors to identify and address data loading bottlenecks, parallelize training, and optimize AI pipelines for faster experimentation to realize performance gains and speedups.The European AI Hackathon, starting 6 October and concluding 29 October 2026, targets small and medium-sized enterprise (SMEs), startups, industry practitioners, and researchers across Europe building AI-driven products and services. Teams benefit from personalized, expert guidance to take their AI workloads to the next level, and access to leadership-class compute resources. Examples of AI projects include:Agentic Contract Intelligence: Multi-agent pipelines that parse, risk-score, and redline contracts across languages and jurisdictionsReal-Time Energy Grid Balancing: Agentic systems running thousand
