WaveSpeed AI Partners with Azuro AI to Power France's Largest AI Hackathon

Supporting builders who turn ideas into real products — that’s what WaveSpeed AI is all about.

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Azuro AI and CEO Thomas Berton on what’s shaping up to be the largest AI hackathon in France. This isn’t just another competition — it’s a statement about where the AI ecosystem is heading: from learning to building.

Why This Partnership Matters

The AI space is flooded with courses, tutorials, and content. But there’s a gap that keeps widening: many people learn AI, far fewer actually build with it.

This hackathon exists to close that gap. Together with Azuro AI and the AI VIP Club community, we’re launching a 2-week intensive focused on AI Automation for Social Media — a theme that’s both practical and in high demand.

Participants won’t just experiment. They’ll design, build, and ship concrete AI-powered solutions for real-world workflows.

Hackathon Details

Theme: AI Automation for Social Media
Format: Online, project-based
Duration: 2 weeks
Teams: 10 selected teams
Prize Pool: €900
Kickoff: February 6, 2025

But honestly? The real value goes way beyond the prize money.

What Makes This Hackathon Different

Most hackathons are weekend sprints — high pressure, low depth. This one takes a different approach:

Two full weeks of premium mentorship from experienced AI practitioners. Continuous feedback loops instead of a single final presentation. A strong emphasis on production-ready thinking, not just demos that look good on stage.

For builders who want to move from “cool prototype” to “actually works in production,” this is the environment that accelerates that transition.

What Participants Walk Away With

Every selected participant gains:

A portfolio-ready AI project they can actually show to employers or clients. Hands-on experience deploying AI in real automation workflows. Access to a high-quality community of AI practitioners across the Francophone ecosystem. Professional connections that often outlast the hackathon itself.

This is the kind of experience that builds careers, not just resumes.

Why WaveSpeed AI Supports Builder Communities

At WaveSpeed AI, we’ve always believed that AI infrastructure should empower creators — regardless of where they are in the world.

Partnering with Azuro AI lets us put that belief into action. We get to support the growing European and Francophone AI community. We get to back an initiative that prioritizes execution over hype. And we get to help builders turn ambitious ideas into scalable, working solutions.

We don’t just provide APIs and models. We support the people who use them to build things that matter.
