Warsaw Model Trainers Hackathon

Warsaw Model Trainers hackathonCan a small Polish model pass the matura?46 hours to find out. Teams take an open Polish model — Bielik, PLLuM or another from the allowed list — and put it through matura-style questions generated from Polish Wikipedia, graded automatically and scored in points. One board, everyone on it, prizes per track.Two tracksHarness — build around the model, with no training at all. Retrieval over Polish Wikipedia, a calculator the model can call, several attempts and a vote, a second pass before the answer goes in. Prompts and glue code; a laptop is enough. Scored on matura points.Fine-tuning — train a small model to be better at the exam. Take an open model of a few gigabytes and tune it on data you build yourself. Two size classes, GPU credits included. Scored on matura points plus the gain over the untouched base model.How the weekend runsFriday 18:00 — kick-off, teams form, rules and scoring explained.Saturday — you build, with mentors and judges on the floor.Sunday 16:00 — demos and scoring, 46 hours after kick-off.Before you comeFrom Monday to Thursday there are four evening workshops and meetups on training small models, all at Kolektyw3.
