I pretty much did all of the work on the AI side, with Nathan, Josh, and Giacomo working on the HPC side of things, I learnt alot lost some sanity, gained some brain cells, lost some brain cells, got Gemini to write reports for me, made most of the AI portion of the presentation myself, lost money experimenting with clusters on AWS, hopefully fly to Japan, hopefully win and always have fun.
More informaiton on all of this is available on my website, but there's also a secret bit for notes on this comp that I will probably update to look nice at some point here: lowndes.dev/notes
Hopefully you enjoy your HPC journey as much as I did, don't be fooled by the AI-HPC name of this competition, it's HPC, and enjoy!
