PolarBearby · x · 2026-10-10
Cerebral Valley and Crusoe are hosting the Recursive Agents Hackathon on Oct 17 at Shack15 in San Francisco, during PyTorch Conference. The theme: build agent teams you can walk away from — agents that plan, spawn sub-agents, delegate, track progress, recover from failures, and keep running until the job is done.
- $25,000 in cash prizes plus an NVIDIA RTX 5090; teams of up to four, in-person only, application required
- Built on Crusoe Managed Inference, with open models like NVIDIA's Nemotron family
- A pre-event Field Day on Oct 16 (1–5pm, Presidio) has random teams racing to take a model from raw data to production
