​Builders & Brews: Hack Edition ☕️💻

​In Collaboration with the AAIF & JetBrains

​THIS IS NOT A HACKATHON. YOU WILL HACK, BUT THERE IS NO PRIZE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT. YOU PARTICIPATE IN AN ONLINE HACKATHON UNTIL THE END OF OCTOBER.

​Builders & Brews is getting a hands-on build-day twist - and going global!

​Nebius and Tavily are bringing a day of workshops, experimentation, and focused building with open-source AI to local builder communities around the world and we’re excited to bring the experience to Amsterdam!

​Bring your curiosity—we’ll help you explore ideas, meet potential teammates, and get started. If you’re already building something, you’re welcome to bring it along and make progress with support from technical experts.

​You’ll have access to hands-on workshops, mentorship, platform credits, and plenty of time to experiment with Nebius infrastructure, NVIDIA open-source models, and Tavily.

​Nebius is also planning a global online AI hackathon with NVIDIA and Tavily. If it’s live during the event, we’ll help interested builders work toward a submission. If it isn’t, you’ll still leave with practical experience, new connections, and a head start on what’s coming. More details of the online hackathon will be shared soon!

​Not interested in competing? You’re just as welcome. There’s no requirement to enter a hackathon, submit a project, or present your work.

​No pressure and no pitches—just agents, coffee, building, and good company.

​Open-source coding agent for planning, writing, debugging, and reviewing code across VS Code, JetBrains, and the CLI. Choose from 500+ models, bring your own keys, or run local models.
