About the Event
BatchIn is partnering with Boston Tech Week to host a 3-day hackathon at the Harvard Innovation Lab (i-lab). Whether you're a student at Harvard/MIT or a developer in the Boston area, this is your chance to build cutting-edge AI applications powered by GLM-5.1 and DeepSeek V4 via a single BatchIn API.
GLM-5.1 currently leads SWE-Bench Pro among open-source models and supports up to 8-hour autonomous coding sessions. DeepSeek V4 (1T MoE) will be available in the event environment as soon as access opens.
关于本次活动
BatchIn 与波士顿科技周合作，在哈佛创新实验室（i-lab）举办为期 3 天的黑客松。无论你是哈佛/MIT 的学生还是波士顿地区的开发者，这都是你通过同一个 BatchIn API 同时使用 GLM-5.1 与 DeepSeek V4 构建前沿 AI 应用的机会。
GLM-5.1 在开源模型中位列 SWE-Bench Pro #1，并支持最长 8 小时自主编码；DeepSeek V4（1T MoE）将在活动环境中于可用后第一时间开放。
