Last weekend, we wrapped the first phase of the Qwen SKYST Hackathon. 40+ students. 2 tracks. 14 prizes. But more importantly, new ideas, fresh energy, and real talent. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us, our advisors, and valued partners @Alibaba_Qwen by @alibaba_cloud and @base for powering the experience. We were also honored to have Prof. Seungryong Kim from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Korea University join us on stage as a speaker. Special shoutout to the dev clubs at SKY universities and KAIST for showing up strong. Congrats to all the winners! Phase 2 is on the way. Stay sharp.

2/ Phase 1 focused on model fine-tuning across two tracks: • Alibaba Cloud Track: teams trained an AI hedge fund task by fine-tuning Qwen models. • Base Track: explored how open models interact with onchain infra via @base MCP, with focus on scale, security, and utility. All models were trained on FLock’s AI Arena, privately, collaboratively, and onchain. Here are the results👇

8/ Masa depan AI tidak akan dibangun di balik pintu tertutup. Ini akan terbuka, dapat diakses, dan terdesentralisasi. Itulah yang sedang kami kerjakan dengan FLock, Qwen, Base, dan pengembang generasi berikutnya. Fase 2 segera dimulai. Mari terus membangun!
