Beta x Alibaba Cloud x AMD AI Agent Hackathon Demo Day
The building is done. Now they ship it live.
Over the past several weeks, teams from across the Bay Area and beyond built AI agents on Alibaba Cloud's FC Agent Sandbox, with AMD compute behind them. On September 11, the top teams take the floor at 555 Hamilton to show what they made — five minutes each, live, in front of a judging panel drawn from AMD, Alibaba Cloud, Llama Venture, Alumni Venture, and more.
No slides about what they're going to build. Working agents, running.
