Join us for the Cloudflare AI Challenge: $3,000 in Prizes!

dev.to staff - Apr 3 - - Dev Community

We are so excited to be partnering with Cloudflare for the second DEV Challenge — with cash prizes and the opportunity to build and certify your AI skills. It is an opportunity to build on top of one of the Internet’s most important and innovative platforms. Thank you to Cloudflare for providing this opportunity for our community to learn and build. 💗

Running through April 14, the Cloudflare AI Challenge will be an opportunity for you to dip your toes (or really, an entire foot and maybe a leg) into AI. There is one prompt for this challenge, but a couple ways to win.

The Prompt

For this challenge, you will be deploying a serverless AI app on Cloudflare workers. Your mandate is to build a Workers AI application that makes use of AI task types from Cloudflare’s growing catalog of Open Models.

Cloudflare’s development platform offers a plethora of Open Models and the ability to accomplish many tasks related to text, images, and audio. Here is just a small taste of what you can do:

  • Text Generation (10+ Open Models to choose from!)
  • Object Detection
  • Speech Recognition
  • Translation
  • And More!

Judging Criteria

All submissions will be judged on the following criteria:

  • Innovation
  • Creativity
  • Demonstration of underlying technology

Additional Prize Categories

In addition to being able to win the overall prompt, there are two more prize categories you can work towards:

  • Multiple Models: Awarded to a submission that leverages many models per task.
  • Triple Task Types: Awarded to a submission that utilizes three or more task types.

Clearly there is a theme with these additional prize categories: the more, the merrier!

Prizes

Our three winners will receive the following prizes:

Overall Prompt Winner (1)
