This weekend, more than 70 engineers, researchers, and builders converged at Liquid AI’s San Francisco office for Hack the Edge, a 48-hour sprint co-hosted with AMD. Equipped with AMD mini-PCs powered by Ryzen™ AI, Liquid Foundation Models and the ROCm™ stack, teams built, fine-tuned, and deployed edge-native applications entirely on-device.
Across two days, participants delivered more than 20 projects spanning multimodal search, sensor intelligence, real-time audio understanding, and low-latency agents – demonstrating what’s possible when speed, efficiency and capability converge on the edge.
The weekend also featured fireside conversations, the first led by Pau Labarta Bajo (Developer Relations, Liquid AI) and Ramine Raone (CVP of AI, AMD); followed by Bryan Madden (Global Head of Marketing, AMD) with Ramin Hasani (CEO & Co-Founder, Liquid AI). Together, they explored the momentum behind on-device intelligence, the shift toward hybrid compute, the growing capability of small optimized models, and how open ecosystems empower developers to move faster.
On Sunday, teams presented live demos of their applications built with LFMs and AMD hardware.
The top teams took home cash prizes and AMD Ryzen™ computers, along with the opportunity to engage directly with Liquid leadership – diving deeper into their ideas, career paths, and the future of edge-native AI.
Hack the Edge showed what happens when high-performance models meet modern edge compute: developers iterate faster, push boundaries, and expand what’s possible.
