Online & Offline @ FlytBase HQ, Pune

AI/ML Builders Take Over FlytBase

A one-day hackathon on real-time anomaly detection in drone video — built for small vision-language models, not big hosted ones.

Event 02

Build What Video Intelligence Can Do Next

Work with real drone footage over cities, day and night, and explore how fast a small model can flag what actually matters.
We reveal the footage at the start of the day. You pick the anomaly you want to catch and take it from idea to working detector.
You’ll build alongside people who are just as curious about visual intelligence as you are—at FlytBase HQ or online from anywhere.

Turn Your Idea Into Something Real

You know that anomaly-detection idea you've been meaning to try? Bring it. We'll give you real drone footage and one focused day to turn it into something you can test, measure, and improve.

Build With People
Who Get It

Work alongside ML/CV engineers, researchers, students, and the FlytBase team. Exchange ideas and get fresh perspectives from people who are just as curious about visual intelligence as you are.

Real-time person detection with bounding boxes

Leave With Something Worth Showing

By the end of the day, you’ll have a working demo to show, results to back it up, and new people to keep building with.
