Ship the hack. We will run the infrastructure.
Helix sponsors builders with 15,000 free credits — helix ai credits for build, debug, test, and refactor — plus model access, cloud compute, and engineers on call for the whole event.
15,000 Helix credits
Helix AI credits for build, debug, test, and refactor.
Enough for a full weekend of autonomous runs.
Frontier model access
The same models the Helix engine runs on, wired up and rate-limited for you.
No API keys to beg your school for.
Cloud compute
An isolated sandbox per task — clone, install, run, and deploy without touching your laptop.
Deploys to a live URL you can demo.
Technical support
Message the engineers directly during the event. Bring the stack trace, not a support ticket.
Fast answers while the clock is running.
How it works
Claim your credits
Two fields and an optional project link. No card, no trial countdown.
Create your account
Sign up with the same email you claimed on — that is the account we credit.
We approve it
A sponsor reviewer checks the claim. Approved accounts are credited automatically, and we email you.
Build
Connect a repo, describe the change, and let the engine plan, edit, test, and push.
What you are agreeing to
- Credits are granted to the Helix account registered to your claim email and expire on September 30, 2026.
- One claim per email. Claims are reviewed by the sponsor team, and we email you either way.
- Grant credits are spent before any credits you buy, so upgrading later never wastes them.
- We use your email to deliver the grant and answer questions about it. Nothing is sold or handed to the event organisers.
