cafe & code at Corgi

Touch grass 🌱 → sip Corgi’s coffee, matcha, or smoothie ☕️🍵🥤 → ship with 1M+ tokens 🚀

Join us for a builder-focused hackathon at Corgi Cafe, powered by HydraDB, Pipeshift, Thine, and Render.

This is a 1M+ tokens hackathon: build agents and apps that can reason across long context, large workflows, memory, docs, messages, and real-world tools.

Drinks from Corgi’s — coffee, matcha, and smoothies — will be provided for builders.

This isn’t just hacking. It’s:

sipping Corgi’s coffee, matcha, and smoothies while building agents

testing what 1M+ token context unlocks

building weird, useful, beautiful things with long-context models

early energy, fast workshops, live demos, and builders shipping in public
