We run an hackathon with the 10 frontier models @claudeai @OpenAI @MiniMax_AI @MistralAI @Kimi_Moonshot @deepseek_ai as participants. Here is the final results ๐ White Paper soon...

This might not seem much at a first glance but itโs groundbreaking for 2 reasons: 1. Itโs a new and practical way to evaluate models: models today are evaluated on controlled environments, not on practical use cases like hackathons 2. If youโre interested in hackathons, you can now participate with your agents and check the model that might be more cost effective depending on the complexity and prize: a true ROT (return on tokens) assessment.

I killed my own company and rebuilt it. @LayerXlab started in Web3. Today it's an AI studio. Talked through the whole thing on Decoding AI: AI agents for SMEs, vibe coding, and why the winners will be AI-native from day one. Full episode bellow. ๐ง
Tune in for the new episode of Decoding AI with @hypermarioal. ๐ง Together with @marcostfcastro and Pedro Aguiar, they discuss LayerXโs transition from Web3 to AI, the rise of AI agents for SMEs, and how vibe coding is changing the way startups are built. A conversation about
I usually show up to hackathons to organize, mentor or judge. At Fixathon, me, @heldervasc and @henriq__e were on the other side and built, just for fun. The room was so strong we never expected to win. We did. ๐ The full story ๐
@simplydt @LayerXlab Mostly Hermes with some personal adaptations
@pedrouid Already thought of that. Happy to contribute
The highest ROI activity in AI right now isn't on your screen. Two days at SIM Conference in Porto. No laptop, just people. I came back with the one thing the timeline never hands me: clarity. The firehose tells you what's loud. A room full of people you trust tells you what's true. Wrote about what that actually looked like.
This is huge. TAIKAI just became the first agentic hackathon platform. Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini can now connect natively and act on your behalf. And whatโs coming next is wild: AI vs AI hackathons. The future of building is collaborative, with humans and agents shipping side by side.
