Runpod - Online Hackathon ($10K+ in Prizes)
Build, deploy, and scale with Runpod—from anywhere.
From September 6–11, join builders around the world for a six-day online hackathon focused on creating ambitious AI applications with Runpod’s cloud infrastructure.
Whether you’re building an inference API, AI agent, generative media workflow, fine-tuning pipeline, or an entirely new developer tool, this is your opportunity to turn an idea into a working project. Participants will have time to build remotely, connect with the Runpod team and community, and compete for cash prizes and platform credits.
What we’ll explore:
GPU-powered AI applications and workflows
Serverless inference and scalable endpoints
Model training, fine-tuning, and deployment
Production considerations including performance, reliability, observability, and cost
Creative uses of Runpod across agents, media, developer tools, and more
Prizes: over $10,000 in prizes!
Additional prizes will be awarded across bonus categories.
If you’re an AI engineer, developer, researcher, or technical founder looking to ship something real with powerful GPU infrastructure, this hackathon is for you.
Join online, build from anywhere, and show us what you can create with Runpod.
