​Builders & Brews: Hack Edition ☕️💻

​Builders & Brews, our flagship builder community event series, is getting a hands-on build-day twist and going global.

​Nebius and Tavily are taking a special tour to 20 cities worldwide, bringing workshops, technical support, and focused build time to the global AI community. We’re excited to bring the experience to London!

​The tour is happening alongside the Nebius Global AI Hackathon, hosted in partnership with NVIDIA. Builders worldwide are invited to create with open-source AI and compete for more than $50,000 in cash prizes, including a $500 city winner prize.

​Bring an idea, a project in progress, or simply your curiosity. You’ll get hands-on support, meet the Nebius team, access additional platform credits, and connect with potential teammates.

​The hackathon is online, so attending this event is not required to participate or qualify for prizes.

​Not competing? You’re just as welcome. There’s no requirement to submit a project or present your work. Come for the coffee, meet other people working in AI, explore the technology, and spend the day learning or building at your own pace.

​Zapier is joining us for London.
Zapier is the platform companies use to safely build AI into how they actually work.

​Speaker programme

​The programme is designed to take participants from hackathon onboarding and platform access through to Physical AI, automation and focused building.

​Kickoff 1: 15:30–16:40

​Andrey Kiparis, Nebius - Cloud and serverless: platform introduction and quick-start demo

​Andrey is a Senior Product Manager at Nebius with experience in cloud-native AI products and platform development. His session will introduce the cloud and serverless concepts behind scaling AI workloads, including how CPU-heavy preparation and GPU-based workloads can be combined efficiently.

​Mario Viviani, NVIDIA - Physical AI: NVIDIA and the Nebius Physical AI Workbench

​Mario leads devrel work around NVIDIA’s Omniverse and Physical AI ecosystem. He will introduce how Physical AI workflows connect synthetic data, simulation, training, evaluation and deployment, and show how the Nebius Workbench can support robotics and embodied-AI experiments.

Kickoff 2 18:45–18:55

Greta Ernst, Tavily - Tavily’s search and research capabilities

​Greta works in Strategic Partnerships at Tavily and has supported partner workshops, hackathons and AI community programmes. She will explain how Tavily’s search and research capabilities, integrations, credits and ecosystem support can help teams build more useful, web-grounded agents.

​Claudia Cafeo, Zapier - Automation with Zapier

​Claudia is a Senior Community Specialist at Zapier, with experience helping communities understand no-code operations and workflow automation. Her session will show how triggers, actions, data flows and integrations can connect AI agents to the tools and processes people already use.

​Aleksandr Efitorov, NVIDIA - Synthetic-data generation for Physical AI

​Aleksandr is a Senior Software Development Engineer at NVIDIA whose public work is connected with robotics perception, visual odometry, SLAM and CUDA. He has also been acknowledged as a contributor to NVIDIA Cosmos 3. His session will explore how synthetic data and world models can support robotics training, rare-case coverage and scalable Physical AI development, potentially with a practical demo.
