​CTF: AI Edition 🚩

​Hosted by Gradient Labs × Pallma AI

​Can you outwit an AI agent?

​Join us for an evening of hacking, pizza, and friendly competition — where the targets aren't servers or binaries, but language models, agent pipelines, and safety mechanisms.

​What is CTF: AI Edition?

​We're bringing the classic Capture the Flag format from cybersecurity into the world of AI. Instead of exploiting networks, you'll be probing LLMs, manipulating agent pipelines, and finding creative ways to retrieve secret flags hidden inside protected AI contexts.

​Challenges are ranked by difficulty, so whether you're a seasoned AI engineer or just getting started with agents, there's something for you. Work through them in any order, at your own pace — and keep an eye on the live scoreboard as the competition heats up throughout the evening.

​Who is this for?

​This event is for mid-level to staff-level engineers and technical ICs who are curious about AI agents, LLM security, and the frontier of what language models can (and shouldn't) do.
