Builders & Brews: Hack Edition ☕️💻
Builders & Brews, our flagship builder community event series, is getting a hands-on build-day twist and going global.
Nebius and Tavily are taking a special tour to 20 cities worldwide, bringing workshops, technical support, and focused build time to the global AI community. We’re excited to bring the experience to New York City with a special partnership with LangChain!
The tour is happening alongside the Nebius Global AI Hackathon, hosted in partnership with NVIDIA. Builders worldwide are invited to create with open-source AI and compete for more than $50,000 in cash prizes, including a $500 city winner prize.
Bring an idea, a project in progress, or simply your curiosity. You’ll get hands-on support, meet the Nebius team, access additional platform credits, and connect with potential teammates.
The hackathon is online, so attending this event is not required to participate or qualify for prizes.
Not competing? You’re just as welcome. There’s no requirement to submit a project or present your work. Come for the coffee, meet other people working in AI, explore the technology, and spend the day learning or building at your own pace.
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.
