​What does the interface between intelligence and matter look like?

​What happens when AI escapes the screen?

​What systems do we need to build so AI can not only think—but sense, move, act, and shape the physical world?

​Some questions to help you think:

• ​What happens when AI meets hardware at scale?

• ​How will AI enable radically new forms of manufacturing, logistics, construction, or mobility?

• ​What tools do founders need to go from idea to prototype in the physical world?

• ​What advances are needed in sensors, edge computing, embedded systems?

• ​What role will LLMs play in interfacing with machines, devices, and environments?

• ​What does human-AI collaboration look like when it’s hands-on?

• ​What does the operating system for atoms look like?

​You must stay within the laws of physics. But with that, we invite you to imagine a future where AI applications don’t just live in cloud dashboards—but shape the world we walk in.

​We believe the next wave of breakthroughs will come from reconnecting intelligence with action

​“The real world is where the gold is.”

​— Marc Andreessen

​What this is:

​It’s not a "hackathon".

​It’s a gathering of builders—hardware engineers, designers, AI researchers, founders—coming together to imagine what’s possible and demo what’s next.

​The challenge:

​Pick a corner of the physical world that feels broken or stagnant.

​Design an AI application that makes it 10x better.

​Reverse engineer that future.

​And demo the first step.
