Nebius x NVIDIA Global AI Hackathon
Nebius and NVIDIA offer $50,000 in cash for working AI systems built on Nebius with NVIDIA open models. Submissions close October 30, 2026.
The Nebius x NVIDIA Global AI Hackathon is an online contest for builders shipping a working AI system. Submissions opened on August 26, 2026 and close on October 30, 2026 at 10:00 am Pacific Time. Judging runs in December. Winners are due around January 11, 2027.
Every project must run on Nebius Token Factory or Nebius AI Cloud and use at least one NVIDIA open source model. There are four tracks: Coding and Agentic Engineering, Best Apps and Agents, Personal AI, and Physical AI. Physical AI entries need a demo video with at least one minute of hardware in action, or of the main modules if there is no physical device.
Cash prizes are $20,000 for first place, $10,000 for second, and $6,000 for third. Each track winner receives an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. There is also $3,000 for best use of Tavily, $500 city winner awards, and $100 awards for useful feedback.
A submission needs a public open source code repository, a demo URL (not required for Physical AI), a description, and a YouTube video of at most three minutes. Register on the Devpost page. Nebius B.V. is the sponsor and Devpost is the administrator.
