Dell x NVIDIA Hackathon / Local AI on Dell Pro Max with GB10 -- Cornell

Dell x NVIDIA's Local AI on Dell Pro Max with GB10 is a one-day build sprint where you ship an always-on business agent running locally on the Dell Pro Max with GB10.

A one-day hackathon. Real hardware on the line.

40 teams. 40 Dell Pro Max with GB10 units. One day to build an AI agent that runs locally on the box (no cloud API) and helps businesses or corporates.

You get the hardware. You get the stack. You get a day to ship something real.

Prizes 🏆 1st place takes home a Dell Pro Max with GB10 per team. 🥈 2nd and 🥉 3rd win a Dell laptop per team.

🤖 Your AI model on a drive. Venue Wi-Fi won't be fast enough for everyone to download models on the day, so load anything you want to use onto a USB or external drive ahead of time.

💻 A laptop for development. You'll get a Dell Pro Max with GB10 for the day, but bring your own laptop to code on. Your demo has to run locally on the box.

⚡ A power strip or extension. We won't have one outlet per person, so if your battery's weak, a splitter or extension cord is a smart backup.
