Congrats to the Winners of the Open Source AI Challenge with pgai and Ollama!

The wait is over! We are excited to announce the winners of the Open Source AI Challenge with pgai and Ollama.

From finance bots to research assistants to SQL playgrounds, our team of judges had a lot to deliberate over. This was a particularly challenging prompt and we were impressed by all who participated. Even if you weren’t selected, we hope you’re proud of what you accomplished and learned some more about the inner workings and potential of “AI Magic”.

Below, we present our four winners.

Congratulations To…

Overall Prompt Winner

@ritesh_hiremath_eb6abb681 takes home our biggest prize with NutritionAI, an app that helps users track their dietary habits by allowing them to upload images of their meals. We were impressed by Ritesh’s combination of PostgreSQL vector capabilities and Ollama models to create an accessible, personalized nutrition tracking system.

Prize Category Winners

Open-source Models from Ollama

@milewski utilized open-source models from Ollama to power several key features of DearBook, a children's book generator that creates fully illustrated stories based on user input. This is a beautifully executed project that is immediately useful for parents everywhere.

Vectorizer Vibe

@fahminlb33 KawanPaper shines by leveraging pgai Vectorizer to streamline systematic literature review through an elegant RAG pipeline implemented by two Postgres functions.

All The Extensions!

@ykimura shows off all three PostgreSQL extensions (pgvector, pgvectorscale, and pgai) through Chat with News, an intelligent news aggregation and interaction system.

Awesome! Thanks everyone! And huge thanks to @timescale, Ollama and @thepracticaldev for this challenge. Knowing about vector embedding is going to be a great addition to my day-to-day work.

And anyone interested in experiencing my submission, do it now! I will shut it down soon. It's free, so generate as many books as you want while it's live.
