Groq

From complete strangers to 2nd place🏆 in 48 hours ⏳! Being part of the AI Hackathon hosted by SXSW Sydney x Build Club's was an exhilarating experience, and for me, it was all about challenging myself to tackle real problems using the skills I have, and learning the ones I didn’t...fast!⚡️ Despite only meeting my team at the start of the event, we came together to build LLMate, an intuitive tool that makes finding the perfect large language model for your use case! It definitely wasn't easy, we went through all five stages of grief, hitting rate limits⛔️, breaking integrations⛓️💥 and may have pulled out a hair or two trying to figure out why our front end wasn't displaying properly, but it was well worth it, not just from learning but managing to land the podium with some amazing people. I couldn’t be prouder of what Jonathan Merritt, Lindy Hua, Zac S. and I accomplished in such a short time 🥹 This experience really taught me the value of lightning-fast LLM access through Groq and how powerful no-code platforms like BuildShip and Make can be in tackling complex tasks within tight deadlines. A huge thank you to the National AI Centre, Build Club (Annie Liao 🇦🇺 & Clinton Lui), Groq, and especially BuildShip for awarding us Best BuildShip Project and providing us an incredible 2-hour mentoring session with Stuart Gardoll. Your support has been invaluable, and we’re already plotting our next steps to push LLMate even further 😊 For you LinkedIn Lurkers (yes I see you 👀)that have thoughts, questions or just want to chat, please feel free to send me a DM 😊 For anyone considering in trying a hackathon.. you have nothing to lose (besides your sleep) but I guarantee you wont regret it, the people you meet and the things you learn are invaluable 🙏 #SXSW #SXSWSydney #AIHackathon #BuildClub #AI #Innovation #LLMate #Buildship #Groq P.S. I see the black circle too, canva's AI tools couldn't help me remove it 😅
