BGI Sprint I

The BGI Sprint is a three-day, multi-track hackathon for builders, researchers, designers, evaluators, governance thinkers, and community members who want to turn Beneficial General Intelligence ideas into concrete outputs. Participants will work in teams across three tracks connected to OmegaClaw, ASI: Create, agent memory, personal agents, and multi-agent coordination. Each team must produce a tangible artifact by the end of the sprint. Tracks are open to technical and non-technical contributors - artifacts can be code, a prototype, a benchmark, a research note, a workflow demo, a framework, a checklist, a video, or another concrete output that can be reviewed in under ten minutes. One finalist from each track will be selected to present their work live to BGI researchers, ecosystem leaders, and invited thought-leaders.

Short summary

The BGI Sprint is a three-day, multi-track hackathon for builders, researchers, designers, evaluators, governance thinkers, and community members who want to turn Beneficial General Intelligence ideas into concrete outputs.
Participants will work in teams across three tracks connected to OmegaClaw, ASI: Create, agent memory, personal agents, and multi-agent coordination. Each team must produce a tangible artifact by the end of the sprint.
Tracks are open to technical and non-technical contributors - artifacts can be code, a prototype, a benchmark, a research note, a workflow demo, a framework, a checklist, a video, or another concrete output that can be reviewed in under ten minutes.

About this Hackathon

The BGI Sprint is not a traditional coding-only hackathon. Code is welcome and encouraged, but it is not the only valid contribution.

The goal is to create useful artifacts that make Beneficial General Intelligence more practical, testable, understandable, or actionable.

Teams may contribute through:

  • Code and technical prototypes
  • OmegaClaw extensions
  • ASI: Create workflows
  • Benchmarks and evaluation suites
  • Research notes
  • Red-team taxonomies
  • DAO coordination tools
  • Governance frameworks
  • Educational materials
  • Videos or walkthroughs
  • Product concepts or user-facing tools

The sprint also aims to build a stronger community around BGI, OmegaClaw, ASI: Create, and the broader SNET ecosystem. Participants are encouraged to meet collaborators, form teams, exchange ideas, and continue contributing after the sprint.

The key rule is simple:

Every team must produce a concrete artifact.

Discussion is valuable, but discussion alone is not a valid final submission.

Tracks

  • Agents in a world of many goals — Navigate irreducibly plural goals without collapsing diversity. OfferNets & BGI Sensemaking Agent operate across communities with legitimately different aims
  • Agents that know what they are doing — Self-modeling, situational awareness, knowing when to stop. Sage Lumina's agent must recognise the edges of its competence before it acts
  • Agents that stay with the thread — Goal continuity across time, sessions, and context shifts. Qwestor tracks evolving research intent — not just facts, but why they matter

How it Works

  1. Register — create your team anytime before the hackathon ends.
  2. Build — work on your project during the hackathon window.
  3. Submit Deliverables — add your GitHub link, document, or any other artifact before the end date.
  4. Showcase — teams pitch on an open Zoom call for judges' assessment.
  5. Awards — the hackathon team reviews submissions and announces the winners.

Schedule

June 1 — Announcement and Submissions Open

The BGI Sprint is publicly announced. Registration and submissions open.

June 3 — BGI Working Group

A first working session focused on BGI context, participant orientation, and early alignment around the sprint purpose.

June 10 — BGI Systems and OmegaClaw Intro Workshop

An introductory workshop connecting BGI systems thinking with OmegaClaw and related tools.

June 17 — OmegaClaw Hands-On Workshop

A practical workshop for participants who want direct exposure to OmegaClaw and possible technical directions.

June 24 — AMA

Final open session before the sprint weekend. Participants can ask questions about tracks, deliverables, team formation, judging, logistics, and submissions.

June 26 — Friday: Kickoff and Team Alignment

The sprint begins with framing, track orientation, submission expectations, judging criteria, team connection, and the first build block.

By the end of Friday, each team should know what artifact it is building.

June 27 — Saturday: Production Day

Teams work on their artifacts with support from track leads, mentors, office hours, and community channels.

Teams should focus on reducing scope, making progress, and preparing a reviewable deliverable.

June 28 — Sunday: Pitches, Judging, and Final Showcase

Before 14:00 UTC, teams should finalize and submit their artifacts.

From 14:00–16:00 UTC, teams pitch in track-level Zoom breakout rooms.

From 16:00–16:30 UTC, judges meet to select one finalist from each track.

From 16:30–17:00 UTC, finalists are contacted and prepare for the final showcase.

At 17:00 UTC, the three track finalists present their deliverables to BGI researchers, ecosystem leaders, and invited thought-leaders.

Award

The prize is not monetary.

The main award is the opportunity for the top teams to present their work live to Ben Goertzel, Mihaela, BGI researchers, ecosystem friends, and relevant thought-leaders.
One finalist from each track will be selected through track-level judging. These finalists will present their artifacts in the final showcase.

The award gives selected teams:
- Direct visibility with important people in the BGI and SNET ecosystem
- Live feedback from researchers and thought-leaders
- Recognition as a track finalist
- A stronger chance of continuation after the sprint
- A pathway for their work to influence working group cycles and future showcases
- All submitted artifacts, not only finalist artifacts, may be preserved as community resources.
