FlytBase Visual Intelligence Hackathon

Visual intelligence is moving fast. Models can already see, search, track, describe, and reason over images and video in ways that weren't practical even a short while ago. But real-world video is a different problem. Hours of footage. Multiple cameras. Moving subjects. Bad angles. Occlusions. Long stretches where nothing happens. And somewhere inside all that noise is the moment that actually matters. So we're bringing together AI/ML engineers, multimodal AI builders, researchers, and students for a day of exploring and building at the frontier of visual intelligence. Catch up with the frontier We'll kick off with a SOTA Watch Party + demos exploring where visual intelligence stands today. What's actually working. Where current approaches still break. What researchers and builders around the world are experimenting with. And what the FlytBase team has been exploring in parallel. Less theory, more things you can actually build with. Then build beyond it After the sessions, it's hackathon time. The challenge is simple to explain, hard to solve: Find what matters in hours of messy, real-world video. You'll work with long-form CCTV and drone footage and explore how far today's approaches to open-world video understanding, search, and reasoning can actually be pushed. The challenge will be revealed on the day. Bring whatever models, tools, frameworks, agents, and unconventional ideas you think give you an edge. What the day looks like P.S. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are on us throughout the day. Who should join? This is for AI/ML engineers, multimodal AI builders, researchers, and students who are curious about where visual intelligence is heading and want to get their hands dirty building with it. Especially if you: Come curious. Bring your laptop, your preferred stack, and whatever models and tools you've been experimenting with. Catch up with the frontier. Then build beyond it.
