We built an inference engine and want to see what community can make with it: running a free hackathon June 10–11

Hey guys,
We’ve been building a distributed inference engine called OpenInfer Engine — it runs across CPUs, GPUs so you’re not locked into any single piece of hardware. We’ve been heads down on the engine itself for a while, and honestly we’re at a point where we just really want to see what people build with it.
So we’re running a hackathon on June 10–11. The theme is creative AI tools — things for designers and creators — but we’re curious more than anything. We want to throw this into the hands of builders and see what chemistry happens.
Everything is free. No credit card, no catch. Whatever you build is yours — IP stays with you completely. There are prizes for interesting projects (seed funding, VC pitch access) but that’s not really the point. The point is we want to see what gets made!
Teams of 1–3, on-site in San Francisco or remote, open to anyone anywhere.
If you’ve been sitting on an idea, this is it: hackathon.openinfer.io
Registration closes June 3. Ask me anything.
