FLAGOS OPEN COMPUTING GLOBAL CHALLENGE
FlagOS Community
📌 About the Event
Hosted jointly by the FlagOS Community and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), this multi-season global competition challenges engineers to optimize code on a unified AI system software stack. Boasting a massive 2 Million RMB total prize pool, Season 1 aims to overcome the hardware-software complexities of modern AI chip architectures.
ℹ️ PORTAL OVERVIEW
- Total Prize Pool: 2,00,0000 RMB + Official BAAI Merit Certificates.
- Format: Virtual / Online development with managed compute clusters.
- Team Limit: Solo or teams up to 3 members max (1 representative registers).
- Target: Systems engineers, kernel/compiler developers, and ML researchers.
- Core Model Target: Extreme optimization using Qwen3-4B.
🎯 THE 3 CORE TRACKS
Track 1: Operator Development & Performance Optimization (FlagGems)
Tasked with building and accelerating 20 hardware-agnostic math and system operators for FlagGems (a universal GPU operator library written in OpenAI’s Triton framework).
- Evaluation Metrics: Evaluated across functional correctness, performance competitiveness, cross-hardware portability, and readable codebase design.
- Task Matrix: 8 Easy tasks, 8 Medium tasks, and 4 Hard tasks.
Track 2: LLM Inference Throughput Optimization
Maximize system throughput on Qwen3-4B using a multi-chip framework, parallel scaling strategies, and memory optimization kernels without degrading accuracy or blowing past latency ceilings.
- Designated Stack:
vllm-plugin-FLframework andFlagGemskernel library.
Track 3: Long-Context Automatic Data Annotation
Design highly efficient, cost-optimized In Context Learning (ICL) solutions tailored for automated data processing and labeling over long-context data segments.
