Congrats to the Cloudflare AI Challenge Winners!

Today is the day! We are so excited to announce the winners of our first-ever sponsored challenge: The Cloudflare AI Challenge.

We were completely blown away by what the community could accomplish in under two weeks. From fake news detection to generative art to AI powered PostgreSQL, we saw some truly impressive and creative projects that we’ll be talking about for weeks to come. But alas, there can only be a few winners.

Congratulations To…

Overall Winner

@kaarthik108, our overall prompt winner for Di1 - AI Driven Insights With Cloudflare

As Kaarthik put it in the post, this project “just went all out on cloudflare product offerings” while creating a slick and practical demonstration of RAG architecture in action.

Combining web, data, and LLM technologies, Kaarthik provides a means of interrogating an interesting dataset in an intuitive and useful way while serving up some fantastic data visualizations. The submission is immediately useful but also provides a great base to explore other interesting datasets and future extensions!

Multiple Models Prize Category Winner

@anselm94, our multiple model winner for leveraging many models per task for Fun, Beautiful, Safe, Printable 'Story Cards' for Kids with Cloudflare AI

Inspired by the recent story books he bought for his son, Merbin has created a fun and engaging story card generator, complete with generated images, context aware story and translation capabilities.

Not only has Merbin created a fully-featured app demonstrating the powerful story-telling capabilities of available text generation models, but he has also crucially used an additional text generation model to ensure the safety and suitability of the generated content. Using multiple models to smooth out the possible rough edges of the generated content is a great demonstration of this concept, and was enough to secure our Multiple Models Prize Category.

Triple Task Type Prize Category Winner

@julianandreszb, our triple task type winner for utilizing three or more tasks in their project is AI collaborative storytelling + Image generator + Translate (English-Spanish)

@julianandreszb demonstrated a seamless integration of multiple task types handing off to one another to create a delightful collaborative storytelling experience! Tweaking the familiarity of the chat-bot interface, but having AI generate the first prompt kept the experience engaging and a great demonstration of the power of using multiple Task Types in new powerful ways.

Our three winners will receive the following prizes:

Overall Prompt Winner

  • $1,500 USD Gift Card or Equivalent
  • Exclusive DEV Badge
  • A gift from the DEV Shop

Additional Prize Category Winners

  • $750 USD Gift Card or Equivalent
  • Exclusive DEV Badge
  • A gift from the DEV Shop

All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.

The Cloudflare team was blown away by how well you leveraged Workers AI and our developer platform to build INCREDIBLE AI-powered experiences.

We'll be sharing more of our favorites on Twitter, so follow us to stay tuned.

Huge shout to the Dev.to team, who did an amazing job hosting and running this challenge!

Let us know if you want to do more Cloudflare challenges! Multi-player app, perhaps??

@saulitis Of course, we can have multiple challenges. However, please provide a full trial account with all the features including the Vector DB creation etc. using the trial account. This is one of the crucial thing which was lacking and because of which many of us weren't able to integrate or perform the RAG for this challenge with the trial account. Apologize if my understanding is not right.

It would be great if there is a way to post all our feedbacks on the AI model consumption. At-least from what I have noticed, the worker AI was failing in some scenarios as the LLM wasn't able to handle it. There were Summarization models, it never worked as expected with the input max token as 1024 something context window :(

@ranjancse This is fantastic feedback, thank you so much. I've sent our product team a note on the AI model consumption / errors and will get back to you ASAP.

Per the trial account - we're actively evaluating solutions to this. To best support these types of amazing challenges, we need an easier way for participants to access more of the developer platform features.

Thank you, again, for taking time to write and send this feedback.
