Engineers Only: βοΈπ Chess Hackathon: Train AI Chess Bots on GPUs
βFor Engineers/AI Researchers who are comfortable with PyTorch. Our goal is the best platform to build and train models and we want you to have a blast and give us feedback. Nontechnical/Recruiters etc. need not apply.
βSpend 2 days training AI Chess bots on GPUs in SF.
βMega Chess Hackathon Overview:
βGet hands-on with rapid neural network training using Strong Computeβs Instant SuperComputer (ISC) in our Mega Chess Hackathon!
βCompete over two days to build the best chess-playing AI with access to 48 GPU clusters and explore models, datasets, and hyperparameters.
βDetails:
βPrize: $10k-$100k compute grant for open-source AI research.
βChallenge: Train a deep neural network to evaluate chess moves based on game history and board states.
βResources: StockFish-evaluated board states, historic game PGNs, and code examples.
βCompute: Dedicated GPU access via the ISC platform.
βJudging: Tournament-style model face-off.
βAccepted participants will get the full task, dataset, and model specifics a week before. Register today to get a head start!
βParticipant Requirements:
βExperience with PyTorch and cluster training is preferred but not mandatory.
βSkills in large-scale clusters (64+ GPUs) are highly valued.
βTeams of 1 to 3 members are allowed. Include your team membersβ names when registering. Approved participants will receive a link to our Discord competition channel.
βLocations:
