Stop Theorizing. Start Deploying. Build with us.

The world of AI development can be isolating. You're fine-tuning a local model in your basement, designing an agent on your own, or wrestling with a complex workflow. It's time to bring that passion out into the open. LOCALHOST is a hackathon designed to unite the diverse community of AI builders. We're creating a space for you to share your stack, learn from your peers, and collaborate on something amazing.

No matter your focus, or sector you have a place here:

  • The Self-Hosters: Working with local LLMs and open-source models.
  • The Agentsmiths: Developing single or multi-agent systems.
  • The Automators: Using tools like n8n or building custom automation pipelines.
  • The Context Kings & Queens: Engineering sophisticated prompts and context strategies.

Come to find a co-founder, learn a new framework, or simply dedicate a weekend to bringing your idea to life with the support of a vibrant community. We'll handle the food, drinks, and atmosphere—you bring your unique skills and collaborative spirit.

What's on the table?

  • $500 Prize: Awarded to the top team for their project's creativity and execution. (more details to come..)
  • Food & Beverages: Stay energized and hydrated on us.
  • A Thriving Community: This is your chance to connect with people who truly get what you're working on.
