Open Source Computer Use Hackathon
We’re inviting an exclusive group of local builders to spend a day at the first computer use hackathon in San Francisco.
Join us to build cool projects in open source AI & computer use – anything from fine-tuning models to improved verification & data collection to full end to end projects / demos.
Throughout the hackathon, you will get unlimited access to both KERNEL’s open source infrastructure and Tzafon’s computer use model series.
Schedule
9:30am: Doors open (please arrive on time before 10 am)
10:00am: Intro panel on the state of computer use

12:00pm: Lunch served (🍕Pizza / 🥬Salads available)
4:00pm: Final submissions
