TokenSage is a token-efficient routing agent built for Track 1 of the AMD Developer Hackathon: ACT II. It uses a lightweight, zero-token heuristic classifier to determine task complexity in microseconds. Simple/factual tasks are handled by the local Ollama model (zero cost), while complex or multi-step tasks are escalated to Fireworks AI only when necessary. The router employs a multi-stage pipeline: prompt normalization + answer caching, complexity pre-screening, local-first drafting with self-verification, and remote fallback only on failure. Only Fireworks tokens count toward the leaderboard score — every local response is free. The result is maximal local routing rate with accuracy held above threshold, proving that routing intelligence wins over raw compute.

To participate in the hackathon, simply click Sign up with AMD. If you are not already a member of the AMD AI Developer Program (ADP), you will need to create an account. ADP members can access AI tutorials, experts, and community support. In addition, new members can claim a free month of DeepLearning.ai pro, $100 in AMD GPU cloud credits, and $50 in Fireworks AI API credits. All hackathon participants will receive on hackathon launch additional compute and API credits for their projects. Ready to build what's next on AMD? Sign up with AMD below to secure your spot.

🌎 Hybrid Hackathon | 📅 September 15–17, 2026 | 📍 Santa Clara Convention Center + Online The official hackathon of AI Infra Summit, co-organized by Kisaco Research and lablab.ai. Join builders, researchers, founders, and AI infrastructure leaders to create applications powered by the technologies shaping the future of AI: compute, data movement, models, physical AI, and next-generation infrastructure. With more than 8,000 attendees expected at AI Infra Summit, this hackathon is an opportunity to build, showcase your work, and connect directly with the companies driving the AI ecosystem forward. 📍On-site participation is by invitation only. Travel and accommodation expenses will not be covered.

Join us for a hackathon where we will be using OpenAI Whisper to create innovative solutions! Whisper is a neural net that has been trained to approach human level robustness and accuracy for English speech recognition. We will be using this tool to create applications that can transcribe in multiple languages, as well as translate from those languages into English. This will be a great opportunity for you to learn more about speech processing and to create some useful applications!
