Prizes and Giveaways
Our aim with these awards is to celebrate your accomplishments and inspire you to contribute to the open-source community, complete the bootcamp, and unlock the full potential of Real-Time Large Language Models using the LLM App.
To that end, we're thrilled to announce various prizes and incentives. We hope these serve as a valuable addition to your professional profile—like having your standout project featured on Pathway's official blog—or offer personal enrichment through coveted gadgets, ranging from gaming controllers to specialized camera lenses for photography aficionados. 🏆🎮📸
Incentives for Bootcamp Graduates
Completion Reward: Every graduate with a valid submission will receive a cool Pathway T-shirt and a certificate.
Featured Projects: The most impactful projects will be showcased on Pathway's official blog, and read by some of the finest researchers and data professionals. We hope this will be a valuable addition to participants' professional profiles. There's no minimum or maximum number for this, depending on the quality of submissions we receive.
Criteria for Bootcamp Graduation Certificate
Fill out the Google Form for the final submission.
Learners must submit their real-time RAG-based LLM application using the LLM App via a GitHub repository.
Projects may be inspired by existing examples (e.g. Dropbox AI Chat, Amazon Discounts, EU AI Act App) but should primarily focus on leveraging real-time data with the LLM App to unlock the key benefits of the LLM App.
Additional Prizes for the Top 10 Projects
Top 3 Projects/Individuals: Wireless Microsoft XBOX controller
Next 3: JBL waterproof portable speaker
Next 4: Amazon Basics Phone Camera Lens
Additional Criteria for Blog Feature & Top 10 Prizes
These criteria are only for the blog feature and the top 10 prizes and not for bootcamp graduation:
The project must be novel in nature and not an inspired/cloned version of the Dropbox Retrieval App.
Utilize the LLM App and its real-time data features for eligibility in top rankings.
Ensure the project is open-source with a GitHub repository that includes a project description, a video demo, a clear methodology, and a functional prototype.
Utilize the LLM App to create impactful solutions in areas like customer support automation, data insights, real-time monitoring, and healthcare, or to enable cross-functional collaboration using real-time data; their project can also serve open-ended consumer, developer, or B2B needs across various domains. We're sharing a few tracks that can be a good starting point for you in the next section.
Share the project demo on LinkedIn or Twitter, explaining its key purpose and how you use the LLM App to build a solution that solves business or social challenges.
