Clash of Prompts: Worlds 1st Real-Time Prompt Battle Royale

Developers go head-to-head in 5-minute rounds to prove who can write the most secure AI-generated code - live, on stage, and online worldwide - scored in real timeSan Francisco, CA - May 7, 2026- Symbiotic Security, a leader in AI-native code security, today announcedClash of Prompts, the world's first live prompt engineering Battle Royale. The event takes place onMay 7, 2026bothin personat theAmazon Web Services (AWS) Builder Loftin San Franciscoand online, open to participants worldwide. Developers, security engineers, and AI practitioners will compete in a high-stakes competition that puts AI code generation security to the ultimate public test.The CompetitionClash of Prompts pits two developers against each other in rapid-fire, 5-minute rounds. Each competitor writes a single prompt. AI generates code from both prompts simultaneously - live, on screen, in front of the entire audience. The output is scored in real time onvulnerabilities detected, security best practices, and prompt efficiency. The winner advances. The loser is eliminated.Competitors progress through open brackets, semi-finals, and a grand final on stage, with the crowd - and online spectators - watching every vulnerability surface in real time on the leaderboard.Compete From AnywhereFor the first time, Clash of Prompts is opening anonline tournamentrunning in parallel with the in-person event. Remote participants compete in the same bracket format, on the same leaderboard, for the same prizes - all they need is a browser and an internet connection. Online and in-person brackets converge in the grand final, meaning the ultimate champion could be sitting in the front row in San Francisco or playing from the other side of the world.Why It MattersIndependent research consistently shows that87-94% of AI-generated code ships with security flaws- even when developers actively try to prompt securely. As AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and ChatGPT become standard tools in the development workflow, the security gap in AI-generated code is one of the most pressing challenges facing the software industry.Clash of Prompts makes this problempainfully, publicly, and undeniably visible. It is the first event of its kind to turn AI code security into a live, competitive, and spectator-friendly format - revealing in real time how prompt quality directly impacts the security of the code that ships to production.Prizes🏆Grand Prize:A $3,500 Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop for the tournament champion💰Top 20 Finishers:Split $20,000 in free AI credits with the model of their choice, plus access to Symbiotic Security's secure coding agent🍓Raspberry Pi Prizes:Courtesy of Stifel, additional prizes awarded to top finishersSponsorsClash of Prompts is proudly sponsored byRed Bull, fuelling competitors throughout the day with free Red Bull for all in-person participants.
