Meta opens a $1M AI developer hackathon

Meta announced a global AI developer hackathon with a $1 million cash prize pool, two tracks, and free Model API credits for projects built with Muse Code, Meta Model API, or its open-weight models, according to Meta’s Connect developer recap. Applications are opening soon, giving builders a low-cost way to test Meta’s stack before committing production work; the archive’s analysis of Meta’s local Muse Glimmer model covers the portability angle.
