What an incredible weekend at RAISE! 🤖✨ We were thrilled to host the AI Tinkerers Paris Hackathon in our offices, alongside Google, NVIDIA, and Mistral AI - gathering more than 175 AI builders for an intense and inspiring day of creation and experimentation. A huge thank you to Abdoulaye D., the AI Tinkerers community, and all the volunteers for making it happen - and of course to our RAISE Ventures team, Thibaut Schlaeppi, Stéphane PESQUE, Nicolas Chow, Thalia Stemitsiotis, Iacopo Maccario and Romane Marrou, for helping bring this energy to life. At RAISE Ventures, we believe innovation thrives when ecosystems collide, and this hackathon perfectly embodied that spirit 🚀 #AgentsIRL #AI #ParisTech #FutureofAI
What a day! We hosted the AI Tinkerers Paris Hackathon at our RAISE offices over the weekend, sponsored by Google Cloud Run, Mistral AI, and NVIDIA GPUs! It included: 💻 75 hackers 🍕 50+ pizzas 📨 23 projects submitted ⚖️ 8 expert judges 🏆 4 impressive winners It was a 12-hour sprint focusing on building multisensory agentic AI projects on Google Cloud run, powered by NVIDIA L4 gpus provided by NVIDIA. We saw awesome projects built in just a few hours, such as debate fact-checking, AR maps, and AI soccer commentary! But 1st place went to Discovery, an AI Travel Companion that landmarks through your camera and provides interactive audio guides! Congrats to Manfredi Bernardi, Roy Bensimon, Samuel Rajzman, Vassili de Rosen, and Pierre Haas. The AI community here in Paris is full of energy and left me very inspired. Thanks to the organizers and sponsors who made this possible.
