Builders & Brews Boston

Description

Builders & Brews: Hack Edition ☕️💻 Builders & Brews is getting a hands-on build-day twist—and going global! Nebius, Tavily, and Nous Research are bringing a day of workshops, experimentation, and focused building with open-source AI to local builder communities around the world. We’re excited to bring the experience to Boston! Bring your curiosity—we’ll help you explore ideas, meet potential teammates, and get started. If you’re already building something, bring it along and make progress with support from technical experts and members of the Nebius, Tavily, and Nous Research communities. You’ll have access to hands-on workshops, mentorship, platform credits, and plenty of time to experiment with Nebius infrastructure, NVIDIA open-source models, and Tavily. Nous Research will contribute its open-source AI expertise, helping builders explore new ideas and turn them into working projects. As a leader in the open-source AI movement, Nous Research trains open-source language models and advances research across model architecture, data synthesis, fine-tuning, and reasoning. It is best known for its Hermes Agent, its open-source, self-improving AI agent that grows alongside the user. Its participation will bring additional technical insight and open-source AI experience to the Boston builder community. Nebius is also planning a global online AI hackathon with NVIDIA and Tavily. If it’s live during the event, we’ll help interested builders work toward a submission. If it isn’t, you’ll still leave with practical experience, new connections across the Nebius, Tavily, and Nous Research communities, and a head start on what’s coming. More details about the online hackathon will be shared soon! Not interested in competing? You’re just as welcome. There’s no requirement to enter a hackathon, submit a project, or present your work. No pressure and no pitches—just agents, open-source AI, coffee, building, and good company.
