Building the Future: Highlights from Our Open Source Realtime AI Hackathon

Last October marked a milestone for our developer community as over 500 developers gathered both in San Francisco and remotely worldwide for our Open Source Conversational & Multi-modal AI Hackathon. Teams spent 48 intense hours pushing the boundaries of real-time AI technology, creating everything from intelligent shopping assistants to AI-powered music creators. The event was made possible thanks to our partners and sponsors: Cartesia, Google Cloud, Oracle, Coval, Pipecat, Product Hunt, Tavus
