###### **Healthcare has been one of the hardest spaces to build in, period.**

The data is messy, the stakes are high, and the margin for error is *near zero*. But the same complexity that once kept builders away is now what makes it one of the most exciting and consequential frontiers in AI. 

**[Abridge](https://www.abridge.com/)**** **is building proprietary AI systems for real healthcare environments, training models on clinical data, designing rigorous evaluation frameworks, and deploying agents across 300+ health systems. 

**Join us at this hackathon to get hands-on with the technology, constraints, and open problems shaping the next generation of AI in healthcare.**

###### **At this event, you will:**

- Get access to Abridge resources including clinician feedback
- Build with cross-domain experts spanning ML scientists, healthcare workers, and clinical engineers
- Work on one of the hardest and consequential problems in software, directly impacting millions of lives
- Connect with leaders and engineers at [Abridge](https://www.abridge.com/), [Anthropic](https://anthropic.com), and [Lightspeed](https://lsvp.com/)

###### **Hackathon Prompt**

###### Build Agents for Healthcare Clinics

- *Healthcare is a $4 trillion industry still running on fax machines and burnt-out clinicians. Pick one clinical or operational workflow and build an agentic system that can make it faster, smarter, or safer. For example, build an agent that can help doctors match to clinical trials or build an agent that can determine based on payor policies whether someone qualifies for prior authorization, all based on patient context.*
- *Your project should be focused on real-world clinical impact, focusing on saving time or lives in the healthcare industry, leveraging AI technology as appropriate.*
- *Come ready to ship something a clinician or patient-facing team could use on Monday. *
- *Abridge engineers and clinicians will be on the floor all day to pressure-test ideas, sharpen use cases, and help you build toward something real.*

- **Event page:** https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/built-with-claude-life-sciences (markdown: https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/built-with-claude-life-sciences.md)

Join us for **Built with Claude: Life Sciences**, a global virtual hackathon in partnership with **[Gladstone Institutes](https://gladstone.org/)**, a biomedical research organization in San Francisco focused on bold science and innovation. 

**Claude Science** is an AI workbench that brings literature, data, code, and compute into a single research environment**,** and we want researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians, and biotech builders to explore what’s newly possible. Whether you’re advancing research or building the next life sciences platform, show us what you can build in one week with **Claude Science** and **Claude Code**.

**This hackathon has two tracks**. The **Research track** asks you to **build from the bench**: start from a biological question you've been thinking through and use **Claude Science** to answer it with something discrete – a finding, a trained model, an analysis others can reproduce. The **Build track** asks you to **build beyond the bench**: start from a user in the life sciences you can name – a scientist, a clinic, a biotech – and use **Claude Code** to create the tool they're missing, working software that outlasts the week.

For the **Research track**, we’ve partnered with various labs across Gladstone to highlight unique datasets for participants to investigate with Claude Science:

- Find new drug targets in this[ T cell Perturb-seq dataset](https://virtualcellmodels.cziscience.com/dataset/genome-scale-tcell-perturb-seq) from the labs of Alex Marson and his collaborator at Stanford University, Jonathan Pritchard.
- Train a model that reads DNA to predict regulatory activity, then ask what a single-base change does to it, like how[ Katie Pollard's lab uses massively parallel reporter assays](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.15.528663v2).
- Use one of[ Nevan Krogan's protein interaction networks](https://kroganlab.ucsf.edu/network-maps) to uncover new biology, identify which complex or pathway is doing the work, or predict a missing component.

We’ll select 500 participants across the two tracks and give each one a month of Claude Max 20x and $200 in API credits to build for one week. Compete to win $100k in Claude API and Usage credits.

Judges include representatives from Anthropic and our partner, **[Gladstone Institutes](https://gladstone.org/)**.

*Note: This event is fully virtual. Space is limited to 500 participants. Maximum team size is 2. All participants must submit an application for approval.*

Leverage Vercel’s agent stack as your launchpad and reach for the stars by tapping into the power of the Gemini to create intelligent agents that can think, plan, and execute.

What we're looking for:

• Agents that solve real problems–not just demos, but tools people actually want to use.

• Creative use of Gemini's multimodal and reasoning capabilities.

• Projects that take full advantage of Vercel's infrastructure for deploying and scaling AI-native applications.

Whether you're a seasoned AI engineer or deploying your first agent, **Zero to Agent** is designed to meet you where you are and get you shipping.

**Come with an idea. Leave with an agent.**

Top judges, speakers, and mentors will be announced soon — stay tuned.

### 37. Edge Deployments & On-Device AI Hackathon

- **Date:** Oct 20, 2025
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Hosts:** [Cerebral Valley](https://cerebralvalley.ai/u/cv), [Meta](https://cerebralvalley.ai/u/meta)
- **Event page:** https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/executorch-hackathon (markdown: https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/executorch-hackathon.md)

### 38. Agentic Memory & Context Engineering Hackathon

- **Date:** Oct 11, 2025
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Hosts:** [MongoDB](https://cerebralvalley.ai/u/mongodb)
- **Event page:** https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/mongoDB-hackathon (markdown: https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/mongoDB-hackathon.md)

We’re excited to welcome you to the hackathon hosted by MongoDB!

Today’s AI agents are only as good as the context they can hold onto. Traditional retrieval-augmented generation helps, but it’s not enough to power persistent, adaptive, and truly agentic applications. 

This hackathon challenges developers, researchers, and builders to push the boundaries of [context engineering](https://blog.langchain.com/context-engineering-for-agents/): the practice of designing how information is captured, stored, retrieved, and reused to extend an agent’s memory and decision-making capabilities. 

In this hackathon, builders will reimagine how agents store, share, and recall information using MongoDB Atlas, Voyage AI, and their partners. Hackers will get hands-on support and work alongside some of the best builders in the AI community. 

Attendees will gain access to [Atlas Vector Search](https://www.mongodb.com/products/platform/atlas-vector-search) and [Voyage AI](https://www.voyageai.com/) embeddings— giving them what they need to push the limits of context, memory, and agentic applications.

Winning teams will receive cash and credit prizes.

Our speakers and judges will be some of the top names in the industry, and we will be announcing them soon... stay tuned!

Note: This is a fully in-person event - remote teams are not allowed.

1. You don't have to make your repo public
2. You just need to take a screenshot of git diff or PR as prove "this work is done during the hackathon"
3. ​You can demo the tooling or company product during demo
4. ​Legitimate proof that this is a company project with NDA that this repository cannot be shared public (you are an employee of the company/work email/screenshot of git repository belong to the company)
5. ​Demo company internal tooling won't affect final judging score but it's preferably deployed

​We provide: food, drinks, space in WorkOS’s office, desk, expert judges to help with sponsor tools

You: bring your ideas and laptop!

Will you build a reactive system response to real world events? Send a squad team from your company to crunch an important feature? A prototype for your company yet pushed into production? An app with UI changes as users use them? A visual monitoring tool? This is the time to time box your build!
