The Hackathon
ExecuTorch Hackathon
Join developers, researchers and builders for the ExecuTorch Hackathon — a hands-on, two-day challenge to build innovative AI experiences powered by ExecuTorch, the open-source framework for deploying and running PyTorch models efficiently on edge and on-device hardware.
Teams of 3-5 pick one of three tracks — Compute (Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon X Elite), Mobile + XR (Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy XR), or IoT (Arduino VENTUNO Q boards) — and each team receives a device from its track to build with. The top team in each track wins a prize package for every member, including Meta AI glasses and an Arduino UNO Q.
Registering on Luma is an application to participate: pick a track, form a team of 3-5, and submit a project proposal by October 4. Selected teams are announced by October 7. Device capacity supports up to 200 participants.
Build with open models, local inference and on-device AI. Teams ship all weekend, and demo night closes the hackathon on Sunday.
