Nebius.Build SF: Robotics Hackathon
Build physical AI and agentic systems in one focused day.
Nebius.Build SF is a one-day builder event bringing together AI engineers, robotics developers, and startup teams for hands-on hacking ahead of GTC week. Expect serious build time, direct access to mentors, and a demo-driven format.
When: Sunday, March 15, 2026 | 9:00 AM - 7:30 PM PTWhere: SHACK15, 1 Ferry Building, Suite 201, San Francisco, CA 94111Format: In-person hackathon + workshops + demosCost: Free (registration required)
What You Will Build
You can build solo or with a team across two challenge directions:
Physical AI: reinforcement learning, vision-language systems, and world-model-driven robotics
