MongoDB LLM & Vector Search Hackathon

You must register here AND be accepted in order to attend this event.

* Hackathon Theme: Creative use of LLM with Vector Search (Semantic Search, RAG, Developer Tools, Agents, etc.)

* Description: With semantic search, RAG, code and image generation, there are many ways to build your next app. And soon there will be an agent marketplace so you can monetize your ideas, big and small. Join MongoDB and partners for a day of learning, coding and prizes. Who knows, maybe your app will be the next big thing!

Six additional sponsors are joining the fun: LangChain, [Together.ai](http://together.ai/), Gradient, Unstructured.io, SuperDuperDB, and Fireworks are offering prizes too. And there will speakers and a workshop. Alex Kalinin of Meta will share his journey from Deep Learning to RAG and beyond. Following his talk, he will lead a hands-on RAG workshop with Llama 2 and MongoDB’s Atlas Vector Search. So, bring your ideas, your friends and join some of the best developers and prompt engineers in Silicon Valley. We can't wait to see what you build!

Some ideas for generative projects: What LLM + Vector Search-based app can you build that leverages RAG in a new creative way? Leverage academic datasets, your own data gathering skills, GPT-4, or human labelers if you like.
