Ricursive Intelligence After Dark Hackathon
Calling builders who want to create with open-weight models.
Join us for the inaugural Ricursive Intelligence Hackathon on Friday, November 13, from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM at our office in Palo Alto. Spend the afternoon and evening building with Ripple-65B Preview, our open-weight model released under Apache 2.0, which set a new U.S. open-weight state of the art on agentic coding. You’ll meet the team behind it. We’ll supply food, snacks, compute, and prizes. All we need is your energy and creativity.
Bring an idea or find one onsite. The best builds win prizes and a conversation with our talent team.

1st place: Apple Mac mini
2nd place: NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano
3rd place: Bose QuietComfort headphones
