AMD Developer Hackathon - San Francisco
Join us in San Francisco for a high-energy, in-person AI builder weekend as part of the AMD Developer Hackathon.
Over two days, developers, engineers, and founders will come together to build and ship real AI applications using AMD Developer Cloud, collaborate with other builders, and demo their projects live on stage.
This is where developers, engineers, and founders come together to build and ship real AI applications using AMD Developer Cloud.
What you’ll build
Participants will build across three main tracks:
• AI Agents & Agentic Workflows (Best Track for Beginners)
Build intelligent AI systems that automate workflows, coordinate agents, or assist users in complex tasks.
• Fine-Tuning on AMD GPUs (Advanced / GPU-Intensive)
Leverage direct GPU access to fine-tune open-source models for high-impact domain specialization.
• Vision & Multimodal AI
Build applications that process and understand multiple data types (Images, Video, Audio) using the massive memory bandwidth of AMD GPUs.
