AITX 2: WE WOOOOON AGAIN!!!!

Our team won the AITX DGX Spark Frontier Hackathon Glīd Challenge, in partnership with NVIDIA, Arm, and ASUS.

25 teams, 150 Hackers, 5 industry challenges, and 48 hours to build a production-ready solution on DGX Spark hardware. No mockups. What you shipped is what you were judged on.

Alongside Cristian Henao our UX/UI Lead, Nolan Robbins ML Expert and Victor Rojas our Backend Engineer, we took on Glīd's autonomous logistics challenge. We used ASUS DGX Spark systems to build a production-grade logistics platform for Glid’s autonomous fleet.

What we built

A Next.js + Model Trained routing and forecasting platform that enables:

• Optimized route generation for container pickups
• Real-time cost & time comparison against competitors
• Port traffic & congestion forecasting (crane capacity, ship volume, dwell time)
• Interactive 3D route visualization with elevation and traffic context
• Customer-facing dashboards that show savings transparently, in real time

AITX organizers deserve real credit for setting the bar high and keeping it there—especially Jake O'Shea and Michael Daigler. Five incredible challenges, real constraints, zero hand-holding, and a standard that forced teams to ship—not pitch. Also huge thanks to Claire Kroft and @BrianCampbell from Glīd's team, their input at the beginning of the challenge was critical to have a clear vision of the solution we wanted to build.

Lastly, huge respect to Antler for backing builders. And to the sponsors and their awesome representatives who didn’t just slap logos on a slide deck but put real hardware and real compute in our hands:

• ASUS for the NVIDIA DGX Spark systems
• NVIDIA for the compute stack that made this level of work possible

Respect to every team that stayed locked in for 48 straight hours, debugging, refactoring, scrapping ideas, rebuilding, and pushing through fatigue to ship something real. Anyone who made it to the end knows exactly how hard this was.
