LLM Agents MOOC Hackathon 2025

Team DAMCS, made up of SUTD Faculty Fellow Dr Marie Siew, researchers from other universities, and Roblox, recently won first place in the Decentralized and Multi-Agents Track of the LLM Agents Hackathon hosted by Berkeley RDI (Center for Responsible, Decentralized Intelligence). Their project, LLM-Powered Decentralized Generative Agents with Adaptive Hierarchical Knowledge Graph for Cooperative Planning, proposes a graph-based memory system along with a structured communication system for LLM agents’ communication and cooperation, where agents work together to complete tasks like collecting items, in this case playing a multi-agent extension of Crafter (which is similar to a 2D version of Minecraft).

The LLM Agents Hackathon is hosted by Berkeley RDI and in conjunction with LLM Agents MOOC, and is open to students, researchers and practitioners within the Large Language Model Agents and Artificial Intelligence community. The hackathon has five tracks, and winners win up to US$200,000 in prizes and resources from OpenAI, Google AI and AMD, among others. This year’s hackathon ran from October 2024 to February 2025.
