Cloudflare + OpenAI Hack Night

The day after OpenAI's DevDay, Cloudflare and OpenAI hosted an AI hack night at Cloudflare's offices. There was palpable excitement to hack on the new features OpenAI rolled out, especially the Realtime AI. Over 200 developers were in attendance, with 200+ on the waitlist who couldn't get it.

The event was spearheaded by Lizzie Siegle, Developer Advocate at Cloudflare. Lizzie's one of the folks I know who is most plugged into AI events in SF and NYC. If those sound interesting to you, subscribe to her newsletter.

Lizzie was joined by Kevin Whinnery, who recently joined the DX team at OpenAI. Kevin did a couple live coding demos with recently announced tools, then provided tech support and OpenAI credit to the hackers in attendance.

The night ended with demos from folks building. It continues to be impressive how much developers can build with these tools in such a short period of time.
