Qai x Hugging Face Hackathon

Hugging Face and QAI hosted what was described as Hugging Face’s first hackathon in the Gulf Cooperation Council region in Doha from November 5 to 7, 2026. More than 500 people applied, with 150 participants selected and organized into approximately 40 to 45 teams tasked with identifying a Qatar-focused problem and building a solution using the Hugging Face ecosystem. Organizers reviewed 40 submissions, chose 15 finalists, and identified three winning projects, which are available through linked Hugging Face collections. Hugging Face mentors also delivered sessions covering the platform’s products, image and video generation with Diffusers, and getting started with local AI, while expressing interest in supporting more AI builders across the GCC region.
