hudzah looks back at an AI Agent hackathon his team hosted in Waterloo in October 2023, where a then-tiny Anthropic sponsored the event and gave participants access to its new 200K-context model.
The event page shows a $1,500 prize, sponsors including Velocity and 8vc, and agent challenges like "first person to order a pizza to the hackathon, with an agent."
