Daytona & Give(a)Go HackSprint - Dublin, August 2026

Join us for a one-day HackSprint focused on fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and AI sandboxes! 🚀

When: 29 August 2026
Where: Baseline, 3rd Floor, 61 Thomas St, The Liberties, Dublin 8, D08 W250, Ireland

What to Expect:

Dive into the world of experimentation, where you will:
