NYCerebro: Winning a GPU Signed by Jensen Huang

Brad Dwyer's blog post details the experience of winning an NVIDIA RTX 4080 signed by Jensen Huang at Vercel+NVIDIA's World's Shortest Hackathon, where he and his team built a project called NYCerebro in just two hours. NYCerebro leverages OpenAI's CLIP model to enable users to search New York City's public traffic camera images through vector search, drawing inspiration from the X-Men's Cerebro machine. The frontend was developed using Vercel's v0, while the backend utilized Roboflow Workflow and Supabase to manage data. Post-hackathon, the project saw enhancements like clickable heatmap points and search vector caching, and the team plans to showcase the signed GPU with AI demos at Roboflow's San Francisco office.
