Hackathon Rules

Important!

Agent Creation via AutoGPT

The creation of new agents should strictly be facilitated through the AutoGPT repo.

Starting Point

Participants may begin with an existing agent or start fresh.

Agent Protocol

All agents designed must follow the agent protocol in order to be benchmarked and to utilize the user interface. All agents cloned through the AutoGPT repo will automatically implement this along with other useful tools.

Benchmarking

Participants will be provided OpenAI credits to run the benchmarks. This is essential to rank and submit entries onto the leaderboard.

Scoring

The performance of agents will be determined using benchmark.

Final Submission

To be eligible for evaluation, participants must submit their work through the lablab.ai team page, including a valid GitHub link. Your agent will then undergo benchmark testing for the final evaluation by the organizers' team.

Note: To maximize your chances, refer to the provided resources regularly and ensure compliance with the hackathon rules. It's not just about creating an agent; it's about making it the best in the arena. Good luck, and may the best agent win!

Hackathon FAQ

Do I need a team?

You are welcome to join as a team or solo. If solo, we still encourage you to look for a team before the event, but ultimately it is your choice. We recommend you to join the AutoGPT Discord server and posting in the dedicated looking for team channel to get to know your potential future team members.

Do I need a Github account?

It is recommended. At least one team member should have a Github account. You can create one for free if you don't already have one. We have recorded a 5-min guide for beginners on creating a GitHub account, feel free to check it out!

Hackathon Prize Delivery 🎁

Once the results are announced, organizers will contact the winning teams to gather delivery details. You'll be able to choose if the prize goes to the team or is split among members.

Please note, it might take us up to 90 days to distribute the prizes, and we'll work to get them to you as quickly as possible! Your innovation deserves celebration, and we're here to make that happen! 🎉

I have other questions.
