Cerebral Valley sits at the community layer of the agent ecosystem. Its launch-day hackathons for new frontier models, and partner hackathons themed on agents, MCP and agentic workflows, give developers a venue to build and test agent applications on new models and tools. Its events platform lists AI hackathons and meetups worldwide, so builders can find agent-focused events in their city.
For people building or using agents, Cerebral Valley matters as a meeting point between AI labs, tool vendors and the developers who adopt them. It does not build agent frameworks itself; its role is convening and distribution, plus private enterprise build days that help companies put leading AI tools into daily use.
Cerebral Valley is a global community of more than 100,000 AI builders, researchers and founders, and the technical event producer that leading AI labs and companies work with to put new models in builders' hands. It began in San Francisco and now runs hubs in 16 cities, including New York, Seattle, London, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Toronto, Bangalore, Seoul, Tokyo and Sydney.
Cerebral Valley reports that companies in its ecosystem have raised more than $3.3 billion. Past speakers and attendees at its events include Sam Altman, Jack Clark, Arthur Mensch, Garry Tan and Alfred Lin.
