Welcome to the Mistral AI Paris Hackathon! This event is hosted by Mistral AI, Cerebral Valley & Station F.

Mistral’s founders and team will be in attendance IRL, and hackers will receive hands-on support from the Mistral team.

Hackers will be granted model access and API access to Mistral models, with the goal of creating projects centered around creativity and AI.

Winning teams will receive $10K+ in cash prizes and credits to kickstart their projects.

Participants will be granted access to the Mistral API and Mistral model to build projects.

To ensure a level playing field, the maximum team size is 4 and no previous projects are allowed.

Doors open at 9:00AM. Kickoff starts at 11:30AM, so be ready to hit the ground running!

Your submissions will be judged on their creativity/uniqueness, future potential, technical implementation, and pitching quality.

Requirements

Teams will need to submit a description of their project and their Github. Video is optional. Please also submit in the secondary form listed in the Hackathon Notion Page.

Teams can either choose to build their project using the new Mistral API model and pursue the first track, or fine-tune their model for their project to pursue the second track.

Both tracks will be judged on the following criteria

  1. Impact - 25%

    What is the project’s long-term potential for success, growth and impact?

  2. Technical implementation - 25%

    How well has the team implemented the idea?

  3. Creativity - 25%

    Is the project’s concept innovative and unique?

  4. Pitches - 25%

    How effectively does the team present their project?

 

For the fine-tuning track, judges will evaluate the effort, technical skillset, amount of data, and data cleaning required for model fine-tuning as well.
