About the Hackathon
secure, context-aware, and production-ready AI systems
https://luma.com/49k20jo8Compute is easy. Context is hard. Build the bridge.Join us for an in-person AI Hackathon in San Francisco, co-hosted byDataHub,Nebius, andEntrepreneurs First (EF).This is not a traditional hackathon—it's a guided, hands-on experience where you'll build production-style AI systems using real-world data context, inference, and deployment patterns.Most AI systems don’t fail because of models — AI systems fail because they lack context.Without context, they query deprecated tables, hallucinate metrics, and violate governance policies.In this one-day Hackathon, we’re bringing together a curated group of AI builders and data engineers to solve this exact problem.Powered by:Nebius(AI compute & inference)DataHub(metadata + context layer)You’ll learn how to buildsecure, context-aware, and production-ready AI systems.AboutEF:Entrepreneurs First (EF) turns exceptional individuals into funded founders. Some might have an early idea, others may need a cofounder. What matters is their potential. We back these founders first, then give them a bridge to Silicon Valley. To date, their companies are worth > $16B.What You'll BuildYou’ll work on real-world AI system challenges—from selecting the right data for models, to tracing issues across pipelines, to building systems that handle sensitive data safely.Detailed tracks and problem statements will be revealed on-site during the event.What you'll walk away withA functional, enterprise-grade AI Agentpowered by Nebius inference and grounded in DataHub’s real-time metadata.Hands-on experiencebuilding context-aware AI systems that use lineage, ownership, and data signalsA clear understandingof how to move from simple AI demos to production-style workflows (handling data quality, governance, and safe execution)Event Schedule9:00 AM — Doors Open, Breakfast & Networking9:45 AM — Technical Keynote10:15 AM — Phase 1 (Guided Setup)12:30 PM — Lunch1:00 PM — Phase 2 (Build Phase)4:00 PM — Demos, Judging, Awards & Happy HourThis event is best suited for:Software & Data EngineersAI / ML engineersStartup founders and technical practitioners building production-grade AIYou’ll get the most out of this if you’re comfortable building and experimenting with technical systems, and are interested in creating production-style AI systems (beyond simple API wrappers or basic chatbots).Perks & Process🎁Prizes & Swag:Top teams will present their work, win prizes, and receive swag.
