Nebius.Build SF
Hosted byCerebral Valley
Sunday Mar 15
9:00 AM – 10:00 PM PDT
We’re expecting high interest. Entry is first-come, first-served, so please arrive by 9:00 AM.
A builder day for robotics and inference is coming for engineers pushing the limits of autonomous systems and high‑performance inference. Get warmed up for GTC the best way possible—by building. Compare notes on what’s working (latency, throughput, cost, reliability) and walk away with a demo you can take straight into GTC week. There’s over $25,000 in prizes and GTC pass and a chance to present at Nebius booth at GTC
What to Expect
Inference workshop: deploy and optimize an inference workload—profiling, batching, KV cache and multi‑GPU patterns
Robotics workshop: sim‑to‑real building blocks with jobs on the Nebius GPU stack
Hackathon: build, demo, judges and prizes
Mentors on site: unblock teams and accelerate end‑to‑end builds
Hands‑on humanoid robots: participants will have a chance to hack on humanoid robots during the event
