Nous Research – RL Environments Hackathon

Hosted byNous Research and Cerebral Valley

Sunday May 18

10:00 AM 11:00 PM PDT

Let's Push The Frontier of Reinforcement Learning Forward: Hosted by NOUS RESEARCH

This event will be a gathering of top engineers, hackers, researchers and thinkers from every domain with one of the largest prize pools for a hackathon in 2025! We're focused on a Cambrian Explosion of useful, innovative, and creative new environments for doing Reinforcement Learning with LLMs.

This event is IRL ONLY - Please do not sign up if not planning to attend in person in San Francisco - May 18th.

Hack on Atropos, our new RL Environments project, building diverse environments that drive capabilities advancements across all domains.

Good environments thrive on domain expertise and thinking outside the box - so if you aren't an ML Engineer, that's fine, you can still make meaningful contributions!

More information on Atropos is available on GitHub: https://github.com/NousResearch/atropos
