Why it matters
Cash-prize hackathons pairing a specific coding agent with a specific model concentrate a large sample of fresh agent-building experiments and prompts in a single day, useful for spotting emerging patterns.
The tokenmaxxing angle
The Agents track explicitly asks teams to build something that can reason, plan, and take action, a direct test of how far a fixed day of Cursor plus Grok usage stretches for real agentic builds.
From the organizers
The published schedule runs building from 10 AM to 3 PM with judging from 3 to 4 PM, and first place pays $1,500 per team member; the event is organized by Hunter Carver and Jake O'Shea with 62 registered.
