NVIDIA Agent Toolkit Hackathon
Enter for a chance to win an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090 signed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
Hackathon Overview
Build a high-performance agentic AI system using the open-source NVIDIA Agent Intelligence toolkit. Enterprise developers can connect, evaluate, and enhance teams of agents, built with any agentic framework, using the Agent toolkit.
The contest will run from May 12 to May 23 in several countries.
To get ready for the contest:
Explore our technical resources.
Join the NVIDIA Developer Discord channel to connect with NVIDIA experts and other developers.
Register for the contest, and you’ll receive requirements and additional details for qualified submissions closer to the start of the hackathon.
Winners will be announced on June 17.
See the contest Terms and Conditions.
What to Build
Teams of AI agents will transform workplace productivity. Use the NVIDIA Agent Intelligence toolkit to create and connect teams of agents that work together to achieve a common goal. Use our GitHub examples as inspiration, or contribute to the community and showcase improvements to the Agent toolkit library itself. Register to participate, and look for exclusive invitations to meet with NVIDIA experts to learn more about how to use the Agent toolkit library.
Multi-Frameworks
Integrate multiple AI frameworks seamlessly using a set of LangChain/LangGraph agents in the Agent toolkit. The Agent toolkit is framework agnostic, allowing use of custom and prebuilt preferred AI tools without restriction.
Automated Description Generation
The automated description generation workflow can be used to build on top of a RAG service and enhances the accuracy of the multi-query collection workflow. It automatically generates descriptions of collections within vector databases, which can be leveraged by the multi-query collection tool to retrieve context, typically documents, across multiple collections within a given vector database.
Simple Model Context Protocol
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol developed by Anthropic that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. The Agent toolkit implements an MCP Client Tool, which allows Agent toolkit workflows and functions to connect to and use tools served by remote MCP servers using server-sent events.
Contest Process
