AITX AI Hackathon Recap
Hello and hope you’re doing well. The hackathon last weekend was an amazing event bringing together over 50 devs, aspiring ML Engineers, and enthusiasts with Austin AI Tinkerers for a full day of hacking and collaborating.
If you’ve never attended a hackathon, it definitely should be added to your bucket-list. It’s an energetic environment where all are welcome. Last weekend, there were over 16 teams that participated in the event.
Spark Creativity
One of the greatest benefits of the focused collaborative effort, is that it sparks creativity when working under the pressure to have something to demo by the afternoon. For me, I built a multi-modal app with speech(voice) to text (STT) and text to speech (TTS). I drew inspiration from a number of talks at last month’s AI Engineer World’s Fair in San Francisco, which was a follow up and much larger AI Engineer Summit. Both events have helped me gain a deeper understanding of the current state of affairs for AI research, startups, and established companies leading the way of Generative AI and Machine Learning, which lead me to a more productive hackathon experience.
