[D] AI Audio Hackathon in Santa Clara (March 20–22) | Looking for ML builders [Free Event]
A 48-hour event challenges builders to stress-test production-grade Higgs Audio models for low-latency voice apps.
Boson AI, in partnership with infrastructure provider Eigen AI, is hosting a specialized hackathon in Santa Clara from March 20-22, targeting developers and ML engineers interested in the cutting edge of audio AI. The 48-hour event is designed to experiment with and stress-test Boson's production-grade Higgs Audio models, which are built for real-time inference. The core technical challenge is building low-latency voice applications, moving beyond simple transcription to systems capable of natural, conversational interaction with features like expressive prosody modeling and voice cloning. This follows a previous successful event with around 200 participants.
The hackathon provides a platform to explore practical implementations of real-time audio AI, a field rapidly gaining importance for voice agents, customer service automation, and creative tools. Participants will have access to Boson's Higgs Audio models for tasks like audio understanding and voice conversion, supported by Eigen AI's infrastructure. Expected project themes from past events include real-time conversational agents, multimodal voice conversion systems, and audio-driven workflow automation tools. The event is free to attend and offers prizes, serving as both a community builder and a live testing ground for next-generation voice interface technologies.
