Nebius x NVIDIA Global AI Hackathon

About this opportunity

Nebius and NVIDIA are running a public online hackathon on Devpost to build AI projects on open infrastructure. Tracks include Coding and Agentic Engineering, Best Apps and Agents, Personal AI and Physical AI. Prizes total $50,000+ in cash: $20,000 grand prize, $10,000 second and $6,000 third place. Each track winner gets an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, and there is $3,000 for Best Use of Tavily. There are also twenty $500 City Winner Awards tied to optional in-person Builders & Brews meetups, and ten $100 feedback prizes. It's open to anyone above the age of majority in their country, in all countries/territories except the standard exceptions. The deadline is close: submissions are due October 30, 2026 at 10:00am PDT, so this is best for students who already have a project idea or a working prototype.
