Swarm Chasing: An AI Hackathon for Understanding Agent Swarms
A free October 3–4 hackathon inviting participants to build tools for discovering, analyzing, and overseeing groups of collaborating AI agents.
Field notes
The event combines a weekend hackathon format with an incident-analysis research problem: participants can inspect agent transcripts, trace information flows, or build tools for finding coordinated agent activity. The organizers reference an AI Village dataset containing more than 170,000 messages and 2 million computer-use turns, while also permitting outside sources such as agent forums and digital-forensics material. Projects may be team-based or solo, with online participation available.
