StepFun x NYU PMC Case Jam

​Work on a real AI go-to-market problem, in one weekend.

​AI is the hottest space in tech right now, and here’s a low-key way to get hands-on with it. StepFun, an AI company building frontier models, wants to know how to win over US developers. You’ll dig into its real lineup, including Step 5 Preview, a 600B-parameter open-weights model with a 1M-token context window, and pitch how StepFun should grow in the US.

​Why join

• ​Get real AI product experience. Learn how AI models actually get to market, from finding the right users to running a model launch. It’s the kind of thinking PM and growth interviews ask about.

• ​Walk away with a resume line and a portfolio piece. “Built a US go-to-market strategy for an AI model company” is a great story to tell.

• ​Get your ideas in front of StepFun. Your work is judged by the StepFun team.

• ​Keep your weekend. No experience needed, no long prep. Grab a few friends (or come solo and meet some) and just bring your ideas.
