​Dell x NVIDIA’s Local AI on Dell Pro Max with GB10 is a one‑day build sprint where you ship an always‑on business agent running locally on the Dell Pro Max with GB10.

A one-day hackathon. Real hardware on the line.

​40 teams. 40 Dell Pro Max with GB10 units. One day to build an AI agent that runs locally on the box (no cloud API) and helps businesses or corporates.

​You get the hardware. You get the stack. You get a day to ship something real.

🤖 Your AI model on a drive.

​Venue Wi-Fi won't be fast enough for everyone to download models on the day, so load anything you want to use onto a USB or external drive ahead of time.

​💻 A laptop for development.

​You'll get a Dell Pro Max with GB10 for the day, but bring your own laptop to code on. Your demo has to run locally on the box.

​⚡ A power strip or extension.

​We won't have one outlet per person, so if your battery's weak, a splitter or extension cord is a smart backup.
