🌊Vibe〰️athon Blitz🎬: AI Guidance Labs & Contest
Join us for Vibe~athon, a groundbreaking pop-up competition 🥅 that challenges developers to try radically new experiments in a novel frontier of software development: orchestrating, mixing, inverting, observing, guardrailing & colliding AI systems rather than just churning code from scratch. In this radical hybrid intelligence event, participants to be prompted to spontaneously imagine, design, prototype, refine, observe, debug things like AI agents through effective prompt engineering & 📐 system design.
Why Attend?
Traditional hackathons generally test one's ability to write code. Vibe~athon tests something radically different🔮: the ability to GUIDE powerful AI systems to solve complex problems—to transmogrify into one's own unique resonance 〰️ pattern while reimagining—not forgetting—how code functions in this new paradigm
With YC research showing tech founders now estimate up to 95% of their codebases are AI-generated*, mastering these skills puts one at the forefront of the next wave of development.
What to Expect
Hands-on Workshops: Vibe into the groove of bidirectional prompt engineering—where one trains the system and the system trains one—with industry pioneers breaking boundaries of what's possible
Boundary-Breaking Challenges: Unravel & proclaim🦩 mastery across digital dimensions—from orchestrating multi-agent systems to fusing multimodal inputs to engineering elegant chaos—all pushing beyond what AI "should" be capable of today
Vibey Prizes: Claim the bounty **:🏆: **— perhaps cloud credits w/ massive compute power, cold hard cash? and/or basic cutting-edge prototype ai born hardware that may transform how digital reality interfaces emerge
Who Should Attend
Vibe~athon is designed for developers, engineers, and tech professionals fascinated by/curious about generative AI & agentic systems. Whether from a startup, enterprise, academia, or independent practice, those eager 🧭 to explore the frontier of AI-augmented development will find their place here. All skill levels welcome—the only requirement is an adventurous mindset ready to reimagine what software development & ai ux can be.
Schedule
Morning-Afternoon: Prompt-crafting code metamorphic labs intensives w/ digital 🧪 alchemists
Early Evening: Rapid-fire 🎯competition challenges unfold
Later Evening: Judging ⚖️ awards & community convergence
What to Bring
(Sticker-covered 💻 ) laptop. Any hardware you prompt with 🌬️especially voice activated
Blue sky curiosity🌿 & rainbow creativity
Basic familiarity w/ prompt engineering concepts (vibey workshops may help all level up!)
All necessary AI services & dev tools to be provided through AWS & sponsor platforms.
Safe Space for Radical Ideas
V!Be~ath0n is committed to creating an 🎋environment where everyone feels empowered to share their most innovative, unconventional & forward-thinking ideas. A culture of respect and psychological safety is actively fostered — where multiple cognitive frameworks & modes of thinking can intersect in a shared digital space—because breakthrough ideas & innovation insights might emerge @ the confluence of different 🐙 ways of knowing, experiences 🐾 & 🧬 approaches.
Join the Movement
This isn't just an event—It’s the emergence of 🛣️ new modalities for creating w/ tech. As Andrei Karpathy says, "It's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff & copy paste stuff, & it mostly works."
Be part of the first wave of developers defining the future of human-AI collaboration.
🌊V!Be~ath0n 🎬 is a collaborative production between partners & Sandbox Labs AI. For sponsorship opportunities or questions, reach out to info@sandboxlabs.ai
* 🎥 "Vibe Coding Is The Future" by Y Combinator: "and the crazy thing is one quarter of the founders said that more than 95% of their code base was AI generated wow which is like an insane statistic and it's not like we funded a bunch of non-technical Founders like every one of these people is like highly technical completely capable of building their own product from scratch a year ago they would have built their own product from scratch but now 95% of it is built by an AI..."
