Hackathon Team Credits

Teams formed for the TruEra Challenge will qualify for $30 in credits per team member to utilize throughout the Hackathon.

These credits will be issued shortly after the start of the hackathon through several stages. It is advantageous for participants to promptly join a team at the beginning of the hackathon to expedite the credit allocation process.

Alternative Infrastructure for the Hackathon

If a team reaches their credit limits on their accounts and requires additional credit coverage, lablab.ai offers infrastructure support throughout the hackathon. This serves as a backup option, ensuring teams have uninterrupted access and comfort while using Google Cloud Vertex AI products.

To access the service account created for the hackathon, submit the form on the hackathon team page. Ensure you're the team leader of a registered team before completing the form. Your access details will be emailed to you, allowing for uninterrupted project development.

Submission Requirements

Your project must utilize both TruLens technology and Google Cloud Vertex AI products to be eligible for submission and participation in the evaluation process.

We recommend using the LlamaIndex framework and Zilliz vector database for your Hackathon app. This choice supports scalability and ensures direct assistance from Zilliz and LlamaIndex teams, potentially boosting your app's success!
