HackAI – Dell and NVIDIA Challenge

Join us for HackAI - the Dell & NVIDIA Challenge, where creativity meets cutting-edge technology! Hosted by Dell and NVIDIA, this hackathon invites developers and data scientists to build groundbreaking Generative AI projects using NVIDIA AI Workbench. AI Workbench is an all-in-one solution for developing, customizing, and using GPU enabled workflows and applications. NVIDIA AI Workbench is a free, user-friendly development environment manager that streamlines data science, ML and AI projects on systems of choice – PC, workstation, datacenter, or cloud. Users can develop, test, and prototype projects locally on Windows, macOS and Ubuntu and easily transfer development environments and computational work between systems (local and remote) to optimize cost, availability, and scale. Build something cool in AI Workbench and then share it on GitHub. Demonstrate how AI Workbench can be used to build and deliver applications for a wide range of tasks and workflows. Provide a user-friendly solution for anything from data science to generative AI applications. Check out some of our existing projects on NVIDIA’s GitHub. Even better, AI Workbench will let other people run it on their own systems, from local machines like laptops and workstations, to remote systems like servers, cloud instances, and VMs. For an added twist, tackle one of our Bonus Categories and vie for a special prize! Dive into Enterprise Generative AI to streamline workflows and automate complex processes, explore Enterprise Data Analysis to enhance decision-making and security, or venture into Enterprise Computer Vision to transform industries from agriculture to retail. Get inspired, get coding, and show us how far your creativity can take you! Check out the NVIDIA Developer Program to get free access to the latest NVIDIA tools, SDKs, and NIM microservices that can be used with AI Workbench.

Requirements

What to Build

 Build a new Generative AI project with NVIDIA AI Workbench and post it on GitHub. The Workbench Project should leverage AI Workbench’s ability to make it easy to get up and running in generative AI applications and drive developer productivity for data science, AI, and machine learning tasks and workflows. Demonstrate the Workbench project running on a GPU system of your choice.

What to Submit

 Provide a URL to your Project on GitHub for judging and testing. Keep your Workbench Project private on GitHub. You will be sharing it with Devpost and NVIDIA.

  • Make sure the Project has an explanatory README with instructions on how to run the Project in AI Workbench. Include a text description that explains the features and functionality of the workflow or application you built in your Project. README should indicate target systems needed to run the Project, as well as any sort of restrictions in terms of models or containers used.
  • You can see an example here for a RAG Project, as well as one for a multi-container application here.

 Include a video (about 3 minutes) that explains and demonstrates your project in action, running on a GPU system of your choice. Videos must be uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo and made public. Social media handles for all team members: LinkedIn, Discord, Twitter. Optional -  blog post included in your GitHub repo. It must be 800-1200 words and should address what was created and how it was created.  Your complete submission form on Devpost before the final deadline.  Non-Category Bonus Prizes

  • Most Valuable Feedback Prize: If you have technical tips or tricks, or any other feedback, share it in the Feedback Submission
  • Best Written Blog Post: write an optional blog post on GitHub
