San Francisco | Claude Build Day

Open models are improving faster than most teams can evaluate them. Every release introduces new capabilities, new tradeoffs, and new decisions around inference, fine-tuning, serving, and production performance. Together with Gradient and Google DeepMind, we’re bringing AI engineers, researchers, technical founders, and open-source builders together in San Francisco to build with the latest open models, compare approaches, and see how they perform on real problems. Agenda 9:30 AM – Doors Open 9:45 AM – Kickoff 11:00 AM – Hack 1:30 PM – Lunch 4:30 PM – Demos 7:00 PM – Closing + Awards Hosted by: Gradient - The seed fund designed for founders in AI. Lambda - The GPU cloud built for AI. Lambda provides on-demand compute for training, fine-tuning, and inference at scale, and is powering this hackathon with cloud credits for all participants. Nango - The API platform for AI agents. Nango gives your agents production-ready tools and integrations with hundreds of external services through a single API. Respan - The AI gateway for inference. Respan routes, evaluates, and optimizes your model calls across providers — one endpoint for building with open models. GDM Gemma - Gemma is the most capable open models from Google Deepmind Note: This event is fully in-person in San Francisco. Capacity is strictly limited. All attendees must apply and be approved prior to the event. Unapproved or pending applicants will not be admitted at the door. Maximum team size is four. See what’s possible.

Join us for an intimate evening of installations, wearables, and sushi at AGI Inc. Come see the tactile, immersive work designers are exploring right now — from touch design to painting to hardware you can wear. A showcase from designers at Google, YouTube, Netflix, and AGI. Come curious, leave inspired. Featured Presenters Schedule Details RSVP here — we’ll ask about any dietary restrictions as part of registration.

Stop making AI slop. Make a short AI film in one day, then screen it that night. This practical masterclass teaches you to direct AI like a film director. You will work on story, camera choices, visual consistency, editing, sound, and delivery. Start from here: During the morning session, Roan Weigert will show the full production process. You will apply it during the afternoon hackathon with support from AI filmmakers, technical partners, and other participants. What your ticket includes A two-hour AI filmmaking masterclass A hands-on team hackathon Access to current image and video generation tools Support from partners working with frontier AI models A public film screening, judging, and awards Sponsored AI credits that you can use during the event and afterward Full online course access, valued at $897 Food and beverages (lunch from Sabor Gaúcho Prime Brazilian Steakhouse) Roan has directed more than 1,600 videos for 480+ companies across 6 countries. View his US portfolio and Brazil portfolio. His work has appeared on television, radio, in print, and online in the US and Brazil. He has published academic research, written a book about world models and video production, and produced viral videos. He also hosts the AI Insights San Francisco podcast. Roan is the DevRel AI Lead at GMI Cloud. He works directly with AI labs and tests video generation models before many of them reach public release. Partners from AI labs will demonstrate their technology and help teams during the hackathon. Sponsors will provide thousands of dollars in top AI tool credits for participants to use during the event and afterward, so they can continue creating. What you will learn How to direct a model instead of relying on longer prompts How film language controls framing, lenses, lighting, and movement How to write stronger hooks and pace a short story How to keep characters, products, and visual styles consistent How to combine generated scenes with recorded footage How to edit, add m

Whether it's a side project, an internal tool, an open source project, or a startup, this is your chance to show what you've been working on and see what others have created. The only rules: Live demos only No slides No company pitches Come share your work, get feedback, and meet fellow builders in the community.

AI is changing more than how we work. It is changing how power works. Our legal systems were built for a world where people, companies, and governments were the primary actors. Increasingly, software makes decisions. It shapes what we see, determines which options are available to us, and acts on our behalf, or on behalf of someone else. This is a harder problem than regulating a new technology. It is a new kind of power, and our institutions were not designed for this. Join us for a fireside chat with leaders at the forefront of AI and law on what happens when analog-era institutions meet a radically different kind of power — and what the law may need to become in response. Kanjun Qiu, CEO of Imbue, will moderate a panel with Meng Jia Yang, a lawyer working on AI regulation at OpenAI and a former law firm litigator, and Matt Boulos, general counsel and head of policy at Imbue. Doors open at 5:30pm and close firmly at 6:15pm. — Imbue is an AI company building tools to empower humans in the AI age. We're building toward an open agent ecosystem where you can understand, modify, and verify agents — so they only work in your interest. Learn about our work and what we stand for: www.imbue.com
