# The Physical AI Sprint

A one-day hackathon at the intersection of AI and the physical world, 2026-08-17,
alongside Actuate SF. Hosted by Nebius with NVIDIA, Antioch, and Toloka. Free to attend;
applications are approved because space is limited.

Teams of 1-5 build a perception-reasoning-action loop on real robots, in the Antioch cloud
simulator, or across both. Judging is science-fair style on ambition, functionality,
creativity, and architectural quality.
