AI Enthusiasts - Winter Hackathon

Mid-Winter AI Hackathon Let's turn the cold, crappy weather from a bug to a feature, with a mid-winter gathering for AI enthusiasts who would rather create than hibernate. What to Expect A surprise creative challenge revealed at the start—no prep, no spoilers, just adaptability A full weekend of hacking, experimenting, prototyping, and “wait… that actually works?” Freedom to explore any AI stack: local LLMs, cloud models, agents, pipelines, RAGs, generative media, hardware hacks, or weird hybrids A GPU-heated space to escape the winter misery and turn it into raw creative energy A collaborative, low-ego environment—bring ideas, curiosity, half-finished projects, or just vibes What to Bring Your laptop, charger, and whatever cursed setup you normally swear is “almost production-ready” ANY AI tools, APIs, models, datasets, or hardware you want to experiment with Warm clothes for the journey there—inside, it’s all heat and neurons firing Cash for caffeine. There's no participation fee, so please buy some drinks onsite, to thank c-base for hosting us.
