Build Multi-Agent Systems with Groq in MachineHack’s Latest Hackathon

Groq, one of the world’s fastest AI inference providers, has partnered with AIM’s MachineHack to launch a hackathon centred on real-time multi-agent systems. 

This hackathon will challenge participants to build multi-agent AI systems that solve real-world problems with Groq’s inference API with real-time response times. 

What You Will Be Building

Participants will have to take on the challenge of building at least two specialised agents working in coordination with each other to solve the problems, with at least two modalities implemented in the solution—be it text, voice or vision.

These multi-agent systems are required to solve real-world problems across six key domains, each addressing critical applications in healthcare, financial analysis, supply chain optimisation, customer service automation and environmental sustainability. 

Registration for the hackathon starts on August 25, with project submissions due 45 days later on October 9. Afterwards, a judging period will follow, with results slated to be announced on October 24. 

Start Date: Aug 25, 2025

Submissions starting: Sep 1, 2025

Duration: 45 days

To build these systems, participants can access a comprehensive suite of models across different modalities from model makers like Meta, Google, Alibaba-Qwen, OpenAI and others, via Groq API for instant inference 

Upon successful completion, participants are required to share the following: 

  • A public GitHub repository, along with a three-minute demonstration video. 
  • A working demo and detailed documentation that outlines the architecture, implementation details and an executive summary covering the project overview and key results. 

Win Exciting Prices

The winner gains instant entry into the Groq Startup Program with $10,000 in API credits to expand their product, exclusive Groq merchandise, digital recognition and ongoing mentorship. 

The second runner-up receives $5,000 in API credits, Groq merchandise and digital recognition, while the third runner-up is awarded $3,000 in API credits, Groq merchandise and digital recognition.

Start Date: Aug 25, 2025

The evaluation criteria cover three aspects: the technical excellence of the multi-agent system, its real-world impact and the innovation involved, with near equal weightage. 

  • Technical excellence, which makes up for 35%, emphasises sophisticated agent coordination, implementation of frameworks, real-time performance and clean code architecture. 
  • Real-world impact, also 35%, measures problem significance, user experience quality, system scalability and business value. 
  • Meanwhile, innovation accounts for the remaining 30% and rewards creative multi-modal combinations, novel agent interactions and unique protocol applications that enhance system capabilities.

And to build such impactful solutions, participants have six strategic tracks to choose from. 

  • The healthcare and diagnostics track involves building AI agents for medical diagnosis, patient monitoring and healthcare automation, including patient data analysis, diagnostic assistance and medical record processing. 
  • The financial analysis track projects focus on real-time financial data processing, risk assessment and trading automation through market analysis, risk evaluation and portfolio optimisation systems. 
  • Supply chain optimisation challenges participants to create intelligent logistics solutions encompassing inventory tracking, demand forecasting and route optimisation. 
  • Customer service automation requires multi-modal support systems capable of voice interactions, issue resolution and multi-language communication. 
  • Sustainability monitoring involves environmental data analysis and sustainability impact assessment through environmental monitoring, impact evaluation and resource optimisation.
  • Alternatively, the cross-domain innovation track encourages novel solutions that span multiple use cases and create entirely new applications.

Why Groq?

Over the past few years, Groq has dedicated itself to tackling a key challenge in generative AI: enabling state-of-the-art models to achieve extremely fast inference speeds. The company has succeeded with its language processing units (LPU) by hosting top models on GroqCloud, where inference speeds surpass 1,000 tokens per second. 

In an interview earlier this year, CEO Jonathan Ross said, “We [Groq] need to be one of the most important compute providers in the world. Our goal by the end of 2027 is to provide at least half of the world’s AI inference compute.”

This hackathon offers you the opportunity to build multi-agent systems that not only work but also bring business impact. 

Multi-agent AI systems represent the next frontier in artificial intelligence. As these systems become more sophisticated, the ability to build coordinated, real-time solutions will define the next generation of AI applications. This hackathon presents a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology while solving meaningful, real-world problems. 

Moreover, considering the trends in today’s AI industry and the sentiment expressed by veterans, it’s clear that multi-agent AI will reshape our world. 

So, will you be among those who define how it happens? Register for the hackathon today, compete with developers and enthusiasts across the world, and your idea might just be the next breakthrough in multi-agent AI systems! 

Register for the hackathon soon!
