We are excited to announce an agentic-architecture hackathon leading up to the A3: Agentic Approaches to Architecture Workshop at MICRO 2026. Participants will be awarded free credit for Google Compute Platform, Gemini, and other Google AI platforms to build out their agentic architecture ideas in the CHIA framework (https://chialoops.ai).
The top three final projects will receive cash prizes ($750, $500, $250), with first place also taking home an NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPU. The top three projects are also invited to give a talk on their work at the A3 workshop at MICRO in Athens, Greece. All participants will be invited to present a poster at the workshop as well.
Thanks to sponsorship from IEEE TCMM, we will be able to provide travel funding of approximately $1500 to each of the top 10 ranked teams to send a student to present a talk (top 3) or poster (top 10) at the A3 Workshop at MICRO 2026. Full eligibility information for prizes, credits, and travel funding is available on the hackathon website.
There is still time to participate! Final hackathon submissions are due Sept 24 AoE.
