AI SideQuest

AI SideQuest is a gamified learning experience where teams solve real-world AI challenges using the CoreWeave Platform with access to our industry leading infrastructure and SaaS tools. This is a hands-on experience. That means no slides and no lectures, just problem-solving with live leaderboards and real prizes.

What to expect at an AI SideQuest

Learn by doing


Solve real challenges in interactive Marimo notebooks with live code execution, pre-configured environments, and immediate feedback on CoreWeave infrastructure.

Team competition


Compete individually or form teams and compete on live leaderboards. Track your progress in real-time, see how you stack up against other teams, and collaborate to climb the rankings.

Real scenarios


Work with production-grade CoreWeave services: top line GPU compute like the H200 and GB300, CoreWeave AI Object Storage, Inference, W&B Models, Weave, Serverless RL.

Win prizes


Top teams earn real rewards. Previous prizes include Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses and CoreWeave credits. Complete quests, unlock achievements, and take home the win!

Example quests

LLM fine-tuning quest

Fine-tune large language models end-to-end using W&B Models for experiment tracking, CoreWeave AI Object Storage, and CoreWeave Compute for high-performance inference. Track metrics, compare runs, and deploy your optimized model.
