- For two weekends, we want to see what you can do with **small models**, **tight constraints**, and **care for the people right around you**. Build for one neighbor. Build something that runs on the laptop you already own. Build something a child could love. Pick a track, ship a Gradio app, and tell us a story.

+ The pace of AI over the last year has been anxiety-inducing. Labs release larger and larger models that do more of the things that make us feel human: writing, drawing, speaking, coding.
21
+ No wonder more than [half of us](https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2025/09/17/how-americans-view-ai-and-its-impact-on-people-and-society/) think the risks of AI outweigh the benefits.

23
+ We're sponsoring a hackathon take things back to how they felt in 2021 when models were **small enough** to tinker with and the vibe was **fun** and hopeful over how this technology could **improve** our lives.
24
+
25
+ This hackathon is different from others. Rather than using a giant LLM to ship yet another B2B SAAS, we want you to **think small**.

27
+ Armed only 32 billion parameters, we want you to solve a problem someone you know is facing or build something whimsical.
