Hackathon Overview

The ARM × Hivetensor Distributed Intelligence Hackathon brings together developers, AI researchers, and innovators to tackle the challenges of distributed AI on ARM architecture. This event focuses on creating scalable, efficient solutions that harness the unique capabilities of ARM processors for next-generation AI applications.

Design and develop distributed AI solutions that leverage the power, efficiency, and scalability of ARM architecture. Your projects should demonstrate innovative approaches to distributed AI inference or training while optimizing for ARM compatibility.

Whether you're interested in edge computing, swarm intelligence, or cloud-ARM integration, this hackathon offers a platform to showcase your skills and push the boundaries of what's possible with distributed AI systems.

Tracks

Edge-Cloud Collaboration

Build systems that intelligently distribute AI workloads between edge devices and cloud resources, demonstrating how ARM architecture can enable more effective hybrid deployments for real-world applications.

Distributed Training Swarms

Develop approaches for coordinating AI model training across multiple devices or nodes, focusing on communication efficiency, workload balancing, and scaling techniques optimized for ARM processors.

Inference on Edge Devices

Create solutions that enable efficient AI inference on resource-constrained edge devices, emphasizing model compression, quantization, or innovative deployment strategies for ARM-based hardware.
