Apart Research Sprint Hackathon
Hong Kong vs New York
Solve AI Agent Collusion in Financial Systems
AI agents have been shown to collude: sustaining prices above the competitive level, forming coalitions in workplace tasks, and coordinating through channels nobody is watching. Over one weekend, build the experiment that catches it.
When: Friday, October 23 to Sunday, October 25, 2026.
Where: online, with in-person hubs on Saturday and Sunday in Hong Kong and New York City.
What: In this weekend research sprint, you will design and run experiments on collusion between AI agents: when it emerges in markets and everyday agent deployments, how an auditor can tell it from coincidence, how coordination is carried, and what a defender can do to break it.
Co-organized by Apart Research, Poseidon Research and AE Studio.
Hong Kong vs. New York.
Two of the world’s leading financial capitals. Two intense hubs of technical, quant, and AI talent. In-person hubs in each city on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th.
Over 48 hours, both hubs will go head-to-head building evaluation benchmarks, theoretical models, and practical defenses against multi-agent financial collusion.
Who we're looking for:
Quants | ML engineers | AI Researchers | Software Engineers | Cybersecurity | Both Students and Professionals. No AI safety background required.
Special Announcement for the Hong Kong Hub
In addition to the cash prize pool, we have secured an exclusive pathway for our local community: The top-performing team from the Hong Kong in-person hub is guaranteed entry into the 6-month Apart Fellowship.
In addition, any Hong Kong team that places among the global prize-winning teams will automatically receive an invitation.
What you receive goes beyond cash: fellowship fast-track, compute, mentor pairing, and a pathway toward publication.
Past fellows have gone on to join leading organizations (e.g. Anthropic, METR), or even starting their own (e.g. Geodesic, Asymmetric Security).
AGI Strategy Course
Coming soon.
The launchpad for AI safety. In 25 hours, understand the landscape, pick a direction, and start moving.
Navigate the most critical technological shift of our time. Based on the acclaimed BlueDot Impact curriculum, this 5-week introductory course provides a structured foundation in AGI strategy. Designed for beginners, you’ll read and discuss the technical landscape, governance challenges, and strategic frameworks necessary to understand the safe development of Artificial General Intelligence.
Join a cohort of motivated learners to cut through the hype and build a clear, actionable understanding of the risks and opportunities ahead. The key difference from BlueDot? We run this course fully in person, so you will meet like-minded individuals in Hong Kong who share your curiosity and motivation about AI safety.
Past Programmes
TARA
organized with the support of HK AI Safety Hub
Saturdays, 14 weeks September-December 2026.
Applications Closed
The Technical Alignment Research Accelerator (TARA) is a 14-week part-time program that builds technical AI safety skills for talent across the Asia-Pacific region.
Participants work through the ARENA curriculum via full-day Saturday sessions plus 2-7 hours of independent learning during the week.
You'll learn and implement key concepts like transformer architectures, mechanistic interpretability, reinforcement learning, and model evaluation techniques. Working in groups of 10-20 participants, you'll practice pair programming - where two people collaborate on code together, taking turns to write and review - all under the guidance of an experienced teaching assistant and expert support.
