Initial Criteria:
- Team: BAISH (Buenos Aires AI Safety Hub) led by Eitan Sprejer.
- Program goal: Give 20‑30 Argentinian builders a full weekend of hands-on work on mechanistic‑interpretability routers & judges research, feeding new talent into the Argentinian AI‑safety funnel, and increasing their community ties.
- Alignment with Crecimiento’s goals: Strengthens the local “deep‑tech for good” ecosystem, showcases Aleph Hub as the go‑to venue for frontier ML events, and forges bridges between BA innovators and an international research sprint.
- Expected impact: ≥6 finished projects, at least 1 prize‑level submission, ≥5 new long‑term community members, follow‑up meet‑ups & study groups.
- Required support: Venue access over the weekend, security/cleaning staff, outreach through Crecimiento’s channels.
- Timeline:
- 30 May 19:00 - 23:00
- 31 May 09:00 - 22:00
- 01 May 09:00 - 20:00

0. Intro to the program
Apart Research and Martian are running a global, >48 h hackathon focused on building automated “judges” that evaluate LLM outputs and “routers” that dispatch user queries to the safest/cheapest model. Dates: Friday 30 May – Sunday 1 June 2025.
Our proposal is to operate the official Buenos Aires Jam Site at Aleph Hub (Palermo, CABA). We will:
- Host 20‑30 participants in person with whole-day access, Wi‑Fi, breakout rooms;
- Run a lightning‑talk kickoff, and encourage internal group division;
- Provide snacks/coffee, quiet rest areas, and sponsored API credits from Martian;

2. Program Goal and Alignment with Crecimiento
- Goals:
- Make real contributions to the AI Safety research community by having impactful submissions.
- Upskill participants on AI Safety research skills by taking on a weekend-long project, making them more eligible for applying to opportunities in the AI Safety field.
- Expand the community by increasing engagement of current participants, and getting other people interested both in AI and AI Safety.
- Showcase Aleph Hub as the nucleus for AI research and innovation.
