Ahead of Time: A Hackathon by Mistral and ClickHouse

​AHEAD OF TIME

​Mistral and ClickHouse are teaming up for a weekend of building agents that see what’s coming. Forecast it, then decide what to do about it. Come build with us!

​200 spots, approval-based. We review applications in two rounds, on Nov 20 and Nov 27, so apply early!

​🔮 The Challenge

​Most data is history, and agents that actually do things need to know what happens next. The theme is forecast, then prescribe.

​📜 The Rules

• ​Build on Timestral, Mistral Large 4, ClickHouse and Langfuse. Everything else is up to you

• ​Timestral does the forecasting, and your agents decide what to do with it

• ​Every agent run gets traced in Langfuse

• ​Show one backtest on data the model never saw

• ​Nothing touches the real world without a human saying yes
