About Golem
Golem is an open-source AI agent compute platform that automatically persists and replays agent operations for seamless fault tolerance, letting you build reliable, stateful AI agents without any infrastructure headaches.
Hackathon Overview
Golem is returning to LambdaConf with another hackathon, and this is one hackathon you won't want to miss! Core contributors to Golem are coming on-site to guide you through the process of building your first application on Golem, in your chosen language (Go, Python, TypeScript, Javascript, Rust, C/C++, MoonBit).
With a chance to win more than $5k in prizes, as well as learn how to build reliable, elastic agents and workflows, the Golem hackathon will develop your skills, expand your network, bolster your resume, and potentially result in accolades for 3 lucky winners!
Prizes
- 1st Place: $3,000
- 2nd Place: $1,500
- 3rd Place: $750
