Summary
AMD x ai& Build Day is a one-day hackathon co-hosted by ai& and AMD inside AMD Advancing AI Japan 2026. Eight captains from AMD's system-integrator partners bring real customer problems, and about 40 selected builders form eight teams that have around four and a half hours to build a working prototype and demo it in five minutes that evening.
Teams build on ai& inference, which serves open-weight models such as Kimi, GLM, Qwen and MiniMax on AMD accelerators through OpenAI-compatible endpoints hosted in Japan. Participation is free with meals and the reception included, and builders can work in Japanese or English. Prizes are ai& credits and AMD goods; applications close November 9, and the venue is Palace Hotel Tokyo in Marunouchi.
About the community
Events from a Japan-founded AI infrastructure company for developers interested in open-weight models and inference, centered on hackathons and meetups where builders try current models on real workloads in mixed Japanese and English speaking teams.
