60 Second Hackathon! 👾
Create an app in 60 seconds.
Welcome to the Cerebras x Val Town 24-Hour virtual Hackathon!
We are so excited to present the CerebrasCoder 24 hour hackathon. You'll have a 24 hour window to build a project using CerebrasCoder or Cerebras x Val Town. CerebrasCoder is an open-source app that generates websites as fast as you can type. (It takes <60 seconds!) You can submit as many times as you want, all entries will be considered separately.
p.s. You can definitely spend more than 60 seconds on it. We call it a “60 second hackathon” because Cerebras Coder is so fast. There’s a 24 hour submission window.
