Hey everyone! 👋
I’m Priyanshu, a third-year IT student and AI/ML enthusiast.
Hacktoberfest 2026 is taking a different direction this year — and I’m genuinely excited about it.
This time, I’m not here to chase PR counts. I want to spend October building, experimenting, and learning with open-source AI and open-weight models. 🤖
I’ve mostly worked with GenAI applications, RAG pipelines, AI agents, and frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph and FastAPI.
For Hacktoberfest, I want to take that a step further:
→ Experiment with open-weight models and local inference
→ Build an AI project around an actual problem
→ Explore open-source agent frameworks
→ Learn how open AI systems compare with proprietary APIs
→ Document what I learn and share the journey here
I’m especially interested in seeing what other developers are building and experimenting with this month.
No PR counter. No contribution farming.
Just build → experiment → learn → share. 🚀
Let’s see what we can create with open-source AI.
