Autonomous Startup-in-a-Box: Six AI Agents Building Companies at GPU Speed Autonomous Startup-in-a-Box is a multi-agent AI system that transforms simple one-sentence startup ideas into fully validated business plans with functional landing pages in seconds. Powered by AMD ROCm, it orchestrates six specialized AI agents that work in parallel rather than sequentially. The Six Agents: CEO Agent – Crafts strategic vision and breaks down concepts into actionable tasks PM Agent– Structures product roadmap and defines MVP scope Engineer Agent– Generates tech stack recommendations and production-ready code Marketer Agent– Builds go-to-market strategies, audience profiles, and ad copy Finance Agent – Models revenue streams, costs, and business viability Critic Agent– Challenges assumptions, identifies risks, and forces iteration The Hardware Advantage: The dashboard features a "Hardware Drag Race" benchmark that visually demonstrates why GPU acceleration matters. Standard CPUs choke generating a single agent's output, while AMD Instinct GPUs execute all six agents simultaneously. Using Qwen-72B/Llama-3 with vLLM serving on AMD Developer Cloud infrastructure, the system delivers in under 10 seconds: market validation, competitive analysis, feature breakdown, backend/frontend architecture, go-to-market strategy, financial projections, risk assessment, and a fully rendered, functional landing page. Why It Matters: This proves that open-source models on AMD hardware can power enterprise-grade multi-agent workflows cost-effectively. It's a demonstration that true hardware-accelerated concurrency—not just faster inference—unlocks entirely new possibilities for agentic AI systems.

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc, developers will build the next generation of agentic commerce systems using Arc with USDC. Explore a world where AI agents and web services can pay for APIs, data, compute, and content in dynamic, usage-based ways, while Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality. This hackathon is supported by Google & Google DeepMind, with a dedicated challenge and $40,000 in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) credits awarded for the best use of Gemini models and Google AI Studio. 📅 January 9 – 24, 2026 • Jan 9 – 23 (Online Phase) – Collaborate and build online with developers and AI innovators from around the world. All projects must be submitted by the end of the online phase on January 23rd. • Jan 23 (On‑site Build Day – San Francisco, CA) – Selected participants will be invited to an exclusive in‑person session to refine their projects and connect directly with mentors. • Jan 24 (On‑site Demos & Awards – San Francisco, CA) – Live pitching sessions to a panel of judges and ecosystem partners, followed by the official winner announcement. Get guidance from Arc and Circle experts through on-site support. 📍 On-site Venue (Jan 23–24): MindsDB SF AI Collective 3154 17th St, San Francisco, California, USA 🤝 Go solo or team up, it's your flow. 🏆Compete for $50,000 in USDC & GCP Credits. 📍 On-site participation is by invitation only.
