Huge thanks to my incredible team for the hard work, and all the effort that went into this project. We’re excited to share that we placed 3rd at the Sports World Cup Hackathon! 🏆⚽️

Big thanks to @sahielbose and @nithinaru for being such amazing teammates!

PyTorch Foundation supported the ExecuTorch Hackathon in San Francisco, where more than 100 participants across 20+ teams built real-time AI applications using PyTorch and ExecuTorch.

Teams built on Snapdragon-powered Samsung Electronics Galaxy S25 Ultra devices, focusing on latency, offline capability, privacy-sensitive processing, energy efficiency, and real-time user experience.

Congratulations to the winning teams:

1st Place: SafeScreen AI, an on-device visual safety layer

2nd Place: SixthSense, an assistive wearable that converts visual information into directional haptic signals

3rd Place: Toddle AI, a privacy-first prototype for analyzing toddler walking patterns locally

The winning projects showed how local execution can support applications that require immediate feedback, limited connectivity, or sensitive data processing.
