about this event
A Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, Dell Pro Max with GB10 hackathon, run by BuilderBase.com.
One day, one box. Build an always-on agent for work, and win the machine it ran on.
The challenge: Build an autonomous agent someone in ops, sales, support or engineering would want tomorrow: inbox triage, CRM hygiene, incident watching, overnight research, private-doc Q&A. It runs locally, it is useful, and a company would pay for it.
Runs on: Dell Pro Max with GB10, all inference local. Stack: NemoClaw, OpenClaw, OpenShell. Channel: Slack, Discord or Telegram. Judged on: technical execution, business value, local-first design, demo quality.
Prizes, one per team regardless of team size: 1st: Dell Pro Max with GB10. 2nd and 3rd: Dell Pro Max Premium 14. 5th to 8th: Dell rewards swag pack.

Bring a laptop for development. Every team gets a GB10 and the demo has to run on it. Bring your models, datasets and packages on a USB drive. Wifi is shared by 150 builders.
