NVIDIA Physical AI Community

Welcome to the Nebius x NVIDIA Global AI Hackathon

Build a working AI system on open, independent infrastructure, and own the whole thing. The NVIDIA x Nebius Global AI Hackathon is for AI builders, ML engineers, founders, and anyone shipping practical, high-performance AI. You'll build with NVIDIA open source models served on Nebius through Nebius Token Factory, on high performance GPU infrastructure. Experiment with new ideas, push the boundaries of open source AI, and submit a project for a chance to win prizes and recognition.

Join fellow builders for technical onboarding, casual workshops, team formation, focused build time, and feedback as you participate in the Global AI Hackathon. Find your nearby city/event here!

The Challenge
All submissions must run on either Nebius Token Factory or Nebius AI Cloud and use at least one NVIDIA open source model. Everything else is up to you.

What to Build
Whether it is an app, agent, or something entirely new, your project should fit into one of the following tracks:

• Coding and Agentic Engineering Track
  • Build coding agents and developer tools: agents that write, run, and test code in Token Factory Sandboxes.
• Best Apps and Agents Track 
  • Build any app or agent someone would actually use, from a productivity tool or copilot to a workflow that runs itself. Power it with Nemotron models on Nebius through Token Factory. Reach for Nemotron 3 Ultra when you need serious reasoning, and let Nano or Super handle the fast, everyday calls, so your app stays responsive and your credits stretch further. We encourage you to deploy your application with Nebius Serverless Endpoints, or use Nebius Serverless Jobs for background processing and asynchronous workflows, though neither is required.
• Personal AI Track
  • Build an always-on, private assistant that works for you while keeping your data under your control. Give it persistent memory, reusable skills, access to the tools and information you choose, and the ability to carry out tasks across your daily workflows. Use at least one NVIDIA open source model, and use tools such as NVIDIA NemoClaw, OpenShell, Hermes Agent, and Nebius Serverless to bring personal AI to assemble, secure, and run your own personal AI system.
• Physical AI Track
  • Build embodied and edge agents that sense and act in the real world: robotics, IoT, and on-device intelligence, powered by Nemotron, GROOT, Cosmos and Sonic models and coordinated through an agent runtime. Use Nebius Serverless Jobs to run simulations, generate synthetic data, evaluate robot policies, or process sensor data at scale, and Nebius Serverless Endpoints to serve real-time inference when needed. Your demonstration video must include at least a 1-minute clip showing the physical hardware/robot actually operating, or — if your project has no physical hardware component — the key application modules in action.

What to Submit

• A working project. Build something with NVIDIA Nemotron or other NVIDIA open source models on either Nebius Token Factory or Nebius AI Cloud that meets the track requirements.
• A category. Pick the track that is the best fit for your project.
• A project description. Tell us what you created, why you created it, and how it works.
• A working demo. Provide a URL to a working demo, hosted application, or test build of your project.
  • Not required for Physical AI submissions.
• A demo video. Upload a 3-minute or shorter public YouTube video showing your project working, with audio covering how you used Nebius Token Factory and NVIDIA Nemotron or other NVIDIA open source models. 
  • Physical AI submissions should include at least one minute of footage showing the physical hardware/robot actually operating, or — if your project has no physical hardware component — the key application modules in action.
• A public code repository. Submit a publicly accessible code repository URL (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) for judging and testing. The repository must include an open source license (such as Apache 2.0, MIT, or MPL 2.0), visible at the top of the repository page.
  • Include a README with setup instructions and clear guidance for running your project.
  • Make sure to highlight how you've used NVIDIA Nemotron or other NVIDIA open source models, where Token Factory accelerated your workflow, and any other Nebius Tools or Services used.
• Feedback on Nebius Token Factory, AI Cloud, and any NVIDIA tools, models, or technologies used.
• If your project existed before the Submission Period, include a written explanation of what was significantly updated during the Submission Period.
• If you participated in one of the IRL Builders & Brews events, choose the city you attended for a chance to win the City Winner Award.
• Review the complete Official Rules.

Building AI at the edge means taking careful coordination across hardware, software, and runtime environments. From selecting compatible JetPack versions and containers to managing memory and configuring inference pipelines, setup and integration can take time away from building the application itself.

Agentic development changes that. By pairing coding agents running with Codex and Claude Code using NVIDIA Jetson Agent Skills, developers can go from a natural-language prompt to a working, optimized edge AI build in far less time. Jetson skills let agents inspect the device, configure the software environment, and construct repeatable AI workflows, reducing the guesswork and iteration that typically slow development down.

In this livestream, we’ll demonstrate how to use a coding agent, such as Codex with the Astra model, in a hands-on Jetson development workflow. You’ll learn how to:

• Install and configure Jetson agent skills.
• Inspect a Jetson device and understand its software and hardware environment.
• Work with JetPack, containers, inference runtimes, and device resources.
• Build and iterate on AI pipeline workflows directly on Jetson.

Join us live, bring your questions, and see how agentic development can help accelerate edge AI development on NVIDIA Jetson—from initial device setup to production-ready AI pipelines

You have an idea for a simulation. How far can you take it with an AI agent—and how do you know the result actually works?

Join NVIDIA developers and community builders to explore what’s possible with GPT-6 Astra, NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, and OpenUSD. Max Bickley and Ashley Goldstein will work with Astra live: brainstorm ideas, guide the agent, inspect what it produces, and decide what to try next. Follow their reasoning as the experiment unfolds, including where they step in and change direction.

Damien Fagnou will share his approach to agentic development, while community developer Michael Wagner and a roundup of recent experiments offer ideas for your own projects. Come away with practical ways to scope an experiment, give an agent useful tools, and test its output—plus Omniverse Labs resources to get started.

Bring the simulation idea you’ve been meaning to try, the teammate you’d build it with, and your questions for live Q&A.

You Will Learn:

• Turn a simulation idea into an agent-driven experiment.
• Put prompts, tools, and skills to work with OpenUSD.
• Test results and know when to intervene.
• Apply lessons from NVIDIA and community builders.
• Start building with Omniverse Labs resources.

The VAST Builders Challenge is a three-city technical event series bringing together founders and engineers across New York, London, and San Francisco to build production-ready AI systems. 

Spend the day building agents to unlock the value of video. Because video is hard to search and analyze, most of it stays in storage, unwatched and underused. 

Experiment with the latest AI infrastructure, collaborate with other ambitious builders, and turn your ideas into shippable prototypes - with access to expert guidance, compute, and the tools you need to ship. 

Hosted with VAST Data in collaboration with NVIDIA, Cursor, CoreWeave and Weights & Biases. 

The Builders Stack 
Here's what you get out of the box, a lightning-quick setup: 

• Video understanding: reason over a video clip with NVIDIA Cosmos. 
• Semantic search: find moments across hours of footage using natural language.
• Object detection: real-time detection and tracking across frames with YOLO.
• General-purpose LLMs: models from Weights & Biases to power your application logic (e.g. video agents). 

The VAST AI OS orchestrates the video ingestion and data layer, models are served on CoreWeave GPUs, and builders ship with Cursor. 

Build your own video agent or something no one’s thought of. Start with publicly available open data and live feeds, or bring your own videos. 

Who should attend 

Developers, ML/AI engineers, agent builders, and data engineers, from startups to enterprise teams working with video or multimodal AI. 

While individuals are welcome, we encourage teams of up to four members and will prioritize team applications. You can form a team on the day of the event or arrive with one already assembled.

The Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) brings together researchers, developers, and robotics teams advancing the state of the art in robot learning and Physical AI. It’s a great opportunity to explore the latest research, connect with the robotics community, and see how new approaches in foundation models, reinforcement learning, simulation, and embodied AI are moving from research into real-world robotic systems.

NVIDIA will be at CoRL 2026, and we’re working on opportunities for our Physical AI community to connect while we’re there. 

More details are coming soon, including NVIDIA activities, community meetups, and other ways to connect with NVIDIA researchers, developers, and the broader robotics community at CoRL.
