✨ Voice AI, open models, and next-generation evals hackathon at @ycombinator in SF on May 30th. ✨

We're co-hosting with @cekuraAi , and we've pulled in our friends at @NVIDIAAIDev, @AWS, and @twilio for expertise and mentoring.

We'll help you build state of the art voice agents using:
- NVIDIA Nemotron models
- AWS SageMaker and Bedrock inference
- Twilio telephony
- Cekura evaluation tooling
- Pipecat orchestration and Pipecat Cloud agent hosting

Up for grabs:
- A guaranteed YC interview
- Special judges' prizes from NVIDIA, AWS, and Twilio for the most impactful and technically impressive projects

Join us to learn from engineers who built all the tools you're using, compare notes with other voice AI developers, and show off your ideas!

Space is limited. Apply below.

This is an in-person event in San Francisco.
