AMD Developer Hackathon: ACT III — Milan

Take your AI idea from prototype to working product at the AMD Developer Hackathon: ACT III in Milan. This hackathon brings together developers, founders, engineers, students, and AI builders to create high-performance applications and agents using AMD GPUs in the cloud. The challenge Build an end-to-end AI application, agent, or developer tool powered by AMD technology. Participants will get the opportunity to work with: Cloud-accessible AMD GPUs The ROCm open-source software stack AI and machine learning development resources Technical guidance from mentors and industry experts Training and learning materials from the AMD ecosystem Everything runs in the cloud. You do not need to own AMD hardware or complete a complex local setup before you begin. You can explore AI agents, model training and fine-tuning, workload benchmarking, developer tooling, high-performance machine learning, or an original use case of your own.
