Proof over promises
Hire AI developers who show a working model or pipeline
"AI experience" is one of the easiest things to overstate on a profile. What actually matters is whether someone can wire up a model, an API, or a pipeline that works reliably against real inputs.
How the challenge works for this category
Each invited developer builds a working AI-powered feature from your brief — a working prompt pipeline, an integration with a model provider, or a small working inference flow — within 24 hours, and demonstrates it live on video.
