Cerebral Valley is the #1 AI developer community in the US, with over 35,000+ top-tier developers as part of our ecosystem. We’re best known for hosting some of the largest AI hackathons in the world alongside elite AI companies such as Meta, OpenAI, Google, Mistral and more.
Cerebral Valley hackathons are built around early releases of cutting-edge foundational models - previous hackathons have focused on the releases of GPT-4, Llama 3, Mistral v2, Claude and more.
As a developer community, Cerebral Valley prioritizes open source. The organization builds software in public and invites community participation, as seen on their Github (https://github.com/cerebralvalley).
Located within the iconic Ferry Building with panoramic views of the Bay, Shack15 provides the stage for diverse community to gather and connect. The venue hosts various notable events, such as the Meltwater Champions Chess Finals that had a $1.6M grand prize with Magnus Carlsen, the GPT-4 API access launch, ChatGPT Plugins API access launch, and Claude 2 API access launch.
The total capacity of the venue is 500. For hackathons, we allocate room for 350 developers and leave the rest of the open slots for judges, sponsors and mentors etc.
Over the past 12 months, we have organized some of the most prominent AI events around the world. Each of our events attracts thousands of applicants and hundreds of elite developers across each city.
