SF Frontier Hackathon: Build Your Autonomous Code Factory

Obvious's research team hosts a 10-plus hour hackathon for engineers and technical builders. Participants build an autonomous software factory in which agents are assigned entire features rather than single prompts, working in an Obvious workspace with meals, drinks and unlimited tokens provided.

Prizes are Obvious Fusion credits: $20,000 for first place, $10,000 for second and $5,000 for third. People can join solo or in teams of up to five per company. Bring a laptop, a real GitHub repo or a greenfield idea, and a backlog of bugs or improvements. The day runs from doors at 10:00 AM through lunch with lightning talks, a closing panel and awards, with happy hour from 5:45 PM.

This page covers the engineer track; a separate Luma page exists for product managers. The venue is in SoMa and the exact address is shown to approved guests only. Registration is free but requires approval, and a waitlist is open.
