Meta is hosting India's first OpenEnv AI Hackathon in collaboration with Hugging Face and PyTorch. Developers will build reinforcement learning environments for next-generation AI agents using OpenEnv, Meta's open-source RL framework.
Prizes and Opportunities
- Top teams get a direct interview opportunity with the AI teams at Meta & Hugging Face
- $30,000 prize pool
- Official Meta certificates
- Your work becomes part of the OpenEnv open-source ecosystem
Event Format and Timeline
- Team size: 1–3 developers
- Round 1: March 28 - April 5 (online)
- Finale: April 25th - 26th, a 48-hour hackathon at Scaler School of Technology, Bangalore
- No prior experience in Reinforcement Learning (RL) is required - learning resources are provided
