About the challenge
When: Weekly, on Fridays, 5PST
What: A weekly sprint hack night. Originally conceived as a 'break people's stuff (but with consent for testing purposes)' activity, I'm finding it easier for prize pool/sponsor acquisition to keep it as a more general single-night event where we're either breaking or building with whoever's stuff contributed most to the prize pool that week. If there's no contributors, it'll just be whatever people wanna mess with.
Get started
Hop in the Discord and take a look at the topic of #signups or #announcements to get an idea of what the plan is this week. So far we've had some contributions/interest from Monk and LangChain in terms of providing sponsorships/prize pools, and currently planning on something for Semantic Kernel. If you have a product you want tested or a cool tool to build with, swing by and ping @yikesawjeez and we'll get you on the roster. Alternately, just email me thru devpost, lol.
Requirements
What to Build
It'll vary based on what we're doing that week. Generally, whatever you can build within the time limit. Generally it'll be solo or small teams, and scope will hopefully stay appropriately small. That said, the plan is to run longer events in the future as infra comes together for it.
What to Submit
Either a link to your working thing+code (please open source your thing!), or screenshots/clips of you breaking the assigned target. As an example, the last 2 weeks have been screenshots of breaking monk.io's agent, the following week was links to working openGPTs.
Prizes
current prize pool status
this is the current available prizes:

more to come, will update this as I get more info.

Judging Criteria
-
it's completely arbitrary
changes depending on the event & style of event. when it comes down to tiebreakers it'll generally be 'rule of cool' unless there's like a serious prize pool.
