About this hackathon

An app challenge in iFLYTEK's 2026 AI Developer Challenge, run by its Spark open-model team (Ciyuan Xinghuo). Build a working app or hardware prototype where the open-source Spark-X2.5-4B or 1.7B model runs on the device—phones, PCs, dev boards, robots, wearables or cars—and delivers real offline, privacy or low-latency value. Solo or teams of up to 5; submit a deck plus an optional demo video or build by Nov 10, 5 p.m. (Beijing time). The top 10 pitch in a final in early December.

一句话简介：科大讯飞 2026 iFLYTEK AI 开发者大赛里的应用赛，⁠‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍⁠由讯飞旗下词元星火主办：用刚开源的端侧模型 Spark-X2.5（4B / 1.7B）做一个能在手机、电脑、开发板、机器人、可穿戴或车载设备上真跑起来的应用或软硬件原型。

看点：方向不限（个人效率、教育、辅助编程、无障碍、健康陪伴、机器人、智能家居、工业巡检、车载等都行）；官方模型必须承担核心智能能力，评审看重离线可用、隐私、低时延等端侧价值，评分里「端侧特性（真实运行核验）」占 25 分；初赛交项目 PPT，演示视频、安装包为加分项；前 10 名进决赛路演（线上或线下），决赛必须真机演示；截至 10月22日 已有 197 支队伍报名。官方页另有「10月11日前提交」字样，与赛程「9月11日—11月10日 17:00 报名及作品提交」冲突，疑为笔误，以官方页最新说明为准

奖金：总奖金 10 万元（税前）：一等奖 2.5 万元 ×1、二等奖 1.5 万元 ×3、三等奖 5,000 元 ×6；获奖选手有机会加入星火基模团队实习

截止日期：11月10日 17:00 报名及作品提交截止（线上）

活动日期：9月11日开放报名与提交，11月下旬公布决赛名单，12月上旬决赛答辩（线上）
