Beyond AI SDK & Hackathon: Early Access Live for Beyond AI SDK

At Beyond Network, we are rolling out early access to the Beyond AI SDK, a toolkit built to help developers create AI-powered agents and applications on our decentralized inference protocol. Alongside this launch, we are sponsoring a hackathon with $10,000 at Unfold 2024 in bounties to encourage builders to explore what’s possible with the SDK. This is an opportunity for developers to get hands-on with our tools, and we are excited to see what they create.

What is the Beyond AI SDK?

The Beyond AI SDK is a set of APIs and resources designed to integrate our fast, onchain AI inference capabilities into your projects. Our mission is to make AI accessible and practical for developers working on the Beyond stack. With the SDK, you can tap into our decentralized compute network, powered by GPUs from contributors worldwide, to run AI tasks efficiently. Whether you are building chatbots, generating images, or crafting custom AI agents, the SDK provides the foundation to get started.

The documentation, available at https://docs.beyondnetwork.xyz/introduction, walks you through the process. It covers the basics, including how to authenticate requests, the base URL for API endpoints, rate limits, and required content types. You’ll also find details on core features like chat completions for conversational responses and image generation from text prompts. It’s a practical guide, complete with best practices, error handling tips, and a changelog to track updates. If you need help, there’s a support section to assist with implementation.

Hackathon: $10,000 in Bounties

To kick things off, we are sponsoring a hackathon with $10,000 in bounties to reward developers who build with the Beyond AI SDK. This event is about allowing the community to experiment with our tools and show what they can do. Participants can use the SDK to create AI agents, apps, or anything else that taps into our inference protocol. The bounties will go to the standout projects, those that demonstrate creativity, functionality, and real-world potential.

The hackathon ties directly into the SDK’s early access launch. It’s a testing ground for the tools outlined in our docs, from chat completions to image generation. We are providing full access to the API, along with support resources, so developers can dive in and build something concrete.
