From ChatGPT's cognitive revolution to GPT-4o's multimodal leap, every leap in AI technology confirms an underlying logic - data quality determines the height of intelligence. Now, this wave of AI is feeding back into the database field, pushing it from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, completing the magnificent transformation of the intelligent era.
On the stage of DB+AI, as a leader in distributed databases, OceanBase is redefining AI-native databases with its integrated architecture. For example, HTAP breaks the dimensional wall between TP and AP, which can not only support massive transactions at high speed, but also parse the business passwords behind the data in real time. The integration of SQL + AI enables the database to execute instructions accurately in SQL language and understand the business intent behind natural language.
When the database meets AI, OceanBase sees not the end, but the beginning of a new world—unexplored possibilities are still as bright as a sea of stars. The temperature of technology lies in sharing, and the height of the future comes from co-creation. This spring, OceanBase invites everyone to write a new equation of "DB+AI" in code and use AI to play with OceanBase.
On April 10, the AI Hackathon Contest co-hosted by OceanBase and Ant Open Source and co-organized by Heart of the Machine has opened for registration. This is a feast for all technology explorers - whether you are a seasoned "veteran" or a fledgling "AI newcomer", a prize pool of 100,000 and infinite possibilities are waiting for you on this stage!
Tonight, the Heart of the Machine will also broadcast the launching ceremony of OceanBase's first AI Hackathon to explain the rules of the competition, hurry up and make an appointment in the heart of the machine live broadcast room to learn about the relevant content.
In order to stimulate the unlimited potential of developers, deeply explore the new possibilities of the deep integration of OceanBase and AI technology, and create products or solutions with excellent practical application value, this hackathon focuses on the following competition questions with AI as the core theme. Contestants can choose any direction or play freely to start innovative exploration!
Direction 1: Use OceanBase database as the DATA base to build your AI application
For example, the OceanBase database is used as a data base to store user behavior and semantic vectors, expand the intelligent capabilities of OceanBase, realize automatic data governance, intelligent interaction, and efficient retrieval, and promote the innovative application of database technology.
Direction 2: "Technology Openness + Ecosystem Co-creation" to explore more possibilities of OceanBase+AI
For example, we will work with projects such as CAMEL AI, FastGPT, and OpenDAL to build AI applications such as Q&A systems, diagnostic systems, semantic search, and document classification around OceanBase and its surrounding ecosystems, and explore the infinite possibilities of OceanBase+AI.
Available to every member 100 points from the OceanBase community(Points will be distributed after the hackathon ends).
Received official joint promotion resources:For example, offline display opportunities at developer conferences, becoming an OceanBase certified instructor, and exclusive blog columns.
The prize money in each award is the team award, and the final per capita award amount will be determined by the actual number of team members.
OceanBase will provide the necessary tax declaration information (including your identity information, cash reward amount and other information required by the tax authorities) to the tax authorities in accordance with the requirements of tax laws and regulations.OceanBase will complete the withholding and payment of the corresponding taxes for you in accordance with the law.
