# 5 Different Challenge Tracks
All Tenstorrent software is open source, and we encourage participants to browse the code ahead of time to pick a challenge that aligns with their interests. Whether you’re into compiler internals, ML training, or graphics experiments, there’s something here to get your hands dirty with.
Below are a few suggested challenges—these are optional, but they’re all meaningful contributions to the growing Tenstorrent ecosystem.
- Implement an Operator in tt-metal
Help extend operator support in Tenstorrent’s low-level programming stack, tt-metal, by implementing a commonly used math or neural net primitive. We recommend: GitHub Issue #15939: Implement rsqrt. This is a great way to learn how ops are lowered and scheduled in Tenstorrent’s architecture. - Ray Marching with the SFPU
Use the Special Function Processing Unit (SFPU) to build a basic Signed Distance Field (SDF) renderer using ray marching. This challenge explores how Tenstorrent’s hardware handles nonlinear math and graphics-style workloads, showing that it’s not just for transformers and CNNs. - Implement SRCNN for Image Upscaling
Deploy a Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network (SRCNN)—a simple 3-layer model that enhances low-res images—on Wormhole using tt-metal. This task is approachable for those looking to understand model mapping, tensor layout, and operator sequencing on Tenstorrent hardware. - Train word2vec with tt-train
Train a classic word2vec embedding model using Tenstorrent’s training stack, tt-train. This challenge is great for exploring custom training loops, loss functions, and tensor movement in a real-world NLP training scenario. - Port the CLIP Image Encoder to tt-nn
Take the vision backbone of CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) and port it to run inference on tt-nn.
This is ideal for participants excited about foundation models and wanting to explore the boundaries of Tenstorrent’s inference APIs.
# Winning Prize
- 🏆 Best use of Tenstorrent will win a Wormhole n150d ($1099 value).
# Hosting partners
