Covalent x Hacktoberfest 2023
Hacktoberfest is one of our favorite events of the year, which is why we’re back for more! If you’re unfamiliar with the event, the tl;dr is that you can win cash prizes by closing out Covalent issues – all month long. This is our chance to both reward active members of our community and invite new members to join in! Keep on reading to learn more.
What is Covalent?
Covalent is a Pythonic workflow orchestration platform that makes it dead simple for users to scale complex AI/ML workloads from their laptop to any cloud / compute backend. Covalent lets users focus on what they do best—coding, experimenting, and innovating—without the burden of managing operational complexity.
Anyone with an interest in either cloud computing, AI & Machine Learning, quantum computing, or general high performance computing should consider contributing to Covalent. Learn more by reading through the Covalent basics here.
