Best Build for Food & Workspaces
It’s time to see how open-source AI can solve problems in the places we visit every day. Partnering with Ranchers and COLABS, this challenge invites you to pick one world, food or workspaces, and build something that makes it work better. So, which world will you build for?
Food & Restaurants (Ranchers): Build for the people who eat and the people who serve, and make the food experience smarter from order to table.
Workspaces & Communities (COLABS): Build for the people who work, create and connect in shared spaces, and help them collaborate and grow together.
Open by Design: Use open-source or open-weight AI at the core of your project, and publish it openly so others can use, fork and build on it.Pick your world and bring your idea to life… what will you build for it today?

Best Use of Gemma 4
It’s time to see how much you can build with a lightweight, open model. Gemma 4 packs multimodal intelligence into an open-weights model that you can access through the Gemini API. So, what can Gemma 4 bring to your project?
- Multimodal Experience: Work with text and images to create an assistant that understands more of what users share.
- Focused AI Tools: Build a focused AI tool for learning, creativity, productivity, or your community.
- Rapid Prototyping: Experiment with an open model while using the Gemini API to move quickly from an idea to a working prototype.
