SF × MIT Hack Day: Energy

The first SF × MIT hack day is on energy. Sundai Club builds at MIT, we build at AGI House SF.

Guests from Stanford Energy Club.

Expect to hack on compute energy infrastructure and grid capacity forecasting.

A battery chemistry that lasts 20% longer or a grid model that predicts a failure an hour earlier is worth real money, and a lot of it can be tested in simulation before anyone touches hardware. We want agents that do that testing and get better at it each run.

Tracks for Nov 8

Edge Compute Management: Identify suitable sites, assess grid capacity, manage loads, and aggregate distributed compute to make it grid-friendly.

Materials for energy: search for battery, catalyst and solar materials with simulation in the loop.

Grid and fusion: forecasting, control and plasma simulation, wherever an agent can propose something and a model can check it.

Schedule

10:00 doors, coffee, intro

10:30 team formation

1:00 lunch

6:30 demos

7:30 done

Spots are limited and we approve applications on a rolling basis.

Who's behind it

AGI House SF is a hacker house on St. Germain Ave where researchers and founders meet to build on the frontier. We run hackathons, salons and dinners most weeks.

Sundai.club is the largest AI hacker community born out of Harvard & MIT that shipped more than 130+ hackathons back-to-back in the last 2.5 years - one for every sunday without stopping. 1000+ projects, with many funded by VCs, YC, etc.

RSIhouse.ai - a weekly open neutral space for hacks and dinners exclusively for recursive self improvement. We touch on topics of post-training, evals, harness engineering, self-play and swarm intelligence. Every week we explore the limits of RSI.

Autolab.ai is building infrastructure for the RSI. Starting with the evals, Autolab enables fully autonomous continual learning and ownership of your own enterprise AI models that get better with every API call you make.

Superradiant is a research lab building self-improving agents who are bringing the rapid advances in mathematics to the sciences. The name comes from superradiance, the quantum effect where emitters that fall into phase radiate together and the light grows with N² instead of N. Their founders, Micah Stubbs and Alejandro Zarzuelo Urdiales, put this series together.Stanford Energy Club is Stanford’s premier student-led energy organization. The club hosts industry talks, networking events, and hands-on projects throughout the year, and recently organized Stanford Climate Week, featuring 70+ events in a single week.
