NM i AI 2027 concept drops Thursday.

Can you get AI to run a grocery store?

We reopened Grocery Bot. Build a bot with an AI coding assistant, play straight from the CLI, and send a fleet of robots to pick up groceries and fill trucks.

No experience needed. https://t.co/JgkgVNlCZj

Here's how it works:

[Norwegian AI Championship @NorAIChamps]

Load the trucks from the 3 cells in front.

+1 per item. +5 when the whole order is in. Full trucks drive off and come back with a new order.

In March, 3,200+ people signed up for NM i AI 2026.

For 69 hours, teams competed on the same leaderboard: students, developers, first-timers and experienced engineers, aged 15 to over 70.

All of it happened online, from kitchen tables, dorm rooms and offices across the country.

That was a deliberate choice. We wanted as few barriers as possible between people and the competition, and it worked. Anyone, anywhere, could take part.

But the moments we remember best happened when people were in the same room.

The kickoff, with a packed venue watching the tasks being released. That's where the energy was.

And it's where the connections happen: first-timers learning from experienced teams, talent meeting the companies behind the problems, and people finding teammates they would never have found online.

So in 2027, NM i AI will no longer be fully virtual.

The mission stays the same: building Norwegian AI and technology capabilities. We just believe it moves faster when people build it together.

We're not revealing how just yet.

On 22 October, we launch the concept for NM i AI 2027.
