Open World
Hackathon
One weekend. Teams build agents that move, grasp, and reason in the real world — on a proprietary dataset by VLGE.
Physical AI is bottlenecked by data. We're opening it up.
The Open World Hackathon brings builders together for one weekend to push the frontier of embodied intelligence — agents that perceive, navigate, and act in unstructured environments.
Every team builds on a proprietary human-behavioral dataset provided by VLGE — real worlds, real people, real behavior. It's a working demonstration of what grounded, transparent training data unlocks.
VLGE is building the human behavioral data layer for physical AI. This event is our bet on transparency: shared data, open tracks, and models judged on how well they understand the real world.
Three tracks.
$10,000 worth in prizes.
Open World
Build agents that perceive, navigate, and act in unstructured, open-ended environments. No rails, no fixed task — just the real world.
Vision-Language-Action
Train end-to-end models that map perception and language directly into physical action. Grounded, multimodal, embodied.
Free Track
Anything physical AI. Bring your own problem, robot, or idea — surprise us with what grounded data can do.
August 25 — one build day.
Judged by operators from the frontier.
The human behavioral data layer powering the post-training supply chain for physical AI. Real worlds, real people, real behavior.
