Firebird, in partnership with OpenAI and NVIDIA, presents Firebird Build – a two-day hackathon co-organized with UATE, AI9 and YerevaNN.

Firebird Build will bring together 80 leading engineers, researchers and R&D professionals from Armenia and the broader region. Participants will form around 20 teams, choose meaningful challenges and turn their ideas into credible working prototypes through an intensive 24-hour build sprint focused on real-world impact.

Throughout the weekend, participants will build with OpenAI Codex and receive direct support from mentors representing OpenAI, NVIDIA, Firebird and Armenia’s wider technology and research ecosystem. The event will conclude with a live demo.
