Babson Generator Build-a-thon
Technical Build-a-thon for AI Practitioners
AI Tinkerers is bringing its hands-on, code-first ethos to Wellesley for the Babson Generator Build-a-thon. This 12-hour intensive is designed for engineers, researchers, and developers who are actively shipping software utilizing foundation models and generative AI. We prioritize functional prototypes and technical deep dives over polished pitches.
Following the recent release of GPT 5.3 Codex Spark and Claude 4.6, the landscape of agentic iteration has shifted. This event provides a dedicated space to leverage these high-speed reasoning models and native agent coordination capabilities to solve specific problems in building and entrepreneurship.
