Layer-1 data network Flare teams up with Google Cloud for AI hackathon

Flare and Google Cloud are betting on the decentralized AI while launching a hackathon with a $ 100,000 pool pool in UC Berkeley.

The data focused on data is evolving (Flor) and Google Cloud combine for the verifiable hackathon of the AI ​​at UC Berkeley, where developers will compete to create AI applications that combine the treatment outside chain and blockchain technology, crypto.News can confirm exclusively.

The event, which takes place from March 7 to 9, will include a total cagneau of $ 100,000, with $ 60,000 allocated to participants in person in California Memorial Stadium and $ 40,000 for virtual participants on Dorahacks.

The hackathon will focus on confidence execution environments, which will allow complex AI tasks to be treated out of chain while maintaining the Flare blockchain battery. Google Cloud’s confidential calculation will be available to help developers experiment with the integration of AI and decentralized systems.

“This hackathon represents a revolutionary initiative while we combine Google Cloud’s confidential calculation technology with blockchain for the first time. It is an exciting opportunity to explore how verifiable AI can reshape industries and stimulate innovation. »»

Four tracks to explore the integration of AI and blockchain

Participants can choose from four tracks, each focused on different IA And blockchain applications. Social AI agents explore AI that imitates human interaction, while RAG knowledge systems deal with AI working with structured data. Defai (DEFI X AI) combines AI with decentralized finance, and consensual learning focuses on AI models trained in decentralized networks.

For Flare, this initiative is the result of a multi-MOIS partnership with Google Cloud, which started in January 2024 when Google Cloud became a validator and a data supplier for Flare. The CEO of Flare, Hugo Philion, commented the hackathon, saying that the collaboration establishes “new standards in the intersection of blockchain and confidential IT”.
