# Humanity's Last Hackathon (of 2025)
|
||
|
||
<img src="https://github.com/huggingface/skills/raw/main/assets/banner.png" alt="Humanity's Last Hackathon (of 2025)" width="100%">
|
||
|
||
Welcome to our hackathon!
|
||
|
||
Whether you’re a tooled up ML engineer, a classicist NLP dev, or an AGI pilled vibe coder, this hackathon is going to be hard work! We’re going to take the latest and greatest coding agents
|
||
and use them to level up open source AI. After all, **why use December to relax and spend time with loved ones, when you can solve AI for all humanity?** Jokes aside, this hackathon is not
|
||
about learning skills from zero or breaking things down in their simplest components. It’s about collaborating, shipping, and making a difference for the open source community.
|
||
|
||
## What We're Building
|
||
|
||
Over four weeks, we're using coding agents to level up the open source AI ecosystem:
|
||
|
||
- **Week 1** — Evaluate models and build a distributed leaderboard
|
||
- **Week 2** — Create high-quality datasets for the community
|
||
- **Week 3** — Fine-tune and share models on the Hub
|
||
- **Week 4** — Sprint to the finish line together
|
||
|
||
Every contribution earns XP. Top contributors make the leaderboard. Winners get prizes!
|
||
|
||
Here's the schedule:

## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
### 1. Join the Organization
|
||
|
||
Join [hf-skills](https://huggingface.co/organizations/hf-skills/share/KrqrmBxkETjvevFbfkXeezcyMbgMjjMaOp) on Hugging Face. This is where your contributions will be tracked and updated on the leaderboard.
|
||
|
||
### 2. Set Up Your Coding Agent
|
||
|
||
Use whatever coding agent you prefer:
|
||
|
||
- **Claude Code** — `claude` in your terminal
|
||
- **Codex** — `codex` CLI
|
||
- **Gemini CLI** — `gemini` in your terminal
|
||
- **Cursor / Windsurf** — IDE-based agents
|
||
- **Open source** — aider, continue, etc.
|
||
|
||
The skills in this repo work with any agent that can read markdown instructions and run Python scripts. To install the skills, follow the instructions in the [README](../README.md).
|
||
|
||
### 3. Get Your HF Token
|
||
|
||
Most quests require a Hugging Face token with write access:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# mac/linux
|
||
curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh | bash
|
||
|
||
# windows
|
||
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://hf.co/cli/install.ps1 | iex"
|
||
|
||
# Login (creates/stores your token)
|
||
hf auth login
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will set your `HF_TOKEN` environment variable.
|
||
|
||
### 4. Clone the Skills Repo
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/skills.git
|
||
cd skills
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Point your coding agent at the relevant configuration. Check the [README](../README.md) for instructions on how to use the skills with your coding agent.
|
||
|
||
## Your First Quest
|
||
|
||
**Week 1 is live!** Head to [02_evaluate-hub-model.md](02_evaluate-hub-model.md) to start evaluating models and climb the leaderboard.

|
||
|
||
## Earning XP
|
||
|
||
Each quest has three tiers:
|
||
|
||
| Tier | What it takes | XP |
|
||
|------|---------------|-----|
|
||
| 🐢 | Complete the basics | 50-75 XP |
|
||
| 🐕 | Go deeper with more features | 100-125 XP |
|
||
| 🦁 | Ship something impressive | 200-225 XP |
|
||
|
||
You can complete multiple tiers, and you can complete the same quest multiple times with different models/datasets/spaces.
