Hi Archestra Hackathon Team,
I’m building my project using Archestra Apps and need an LLM API key with sufficient limits to run the app-building agent. My current provider’s free-tier limit is too low for the required request size.
Do participants receive sponsored API keys or credits for Cerebras or another supported provider? If so, could you please share the process for requesting access?
Thank you!

Hi! We don't provide those, but you could try using your Codex subscription if you have one

Hi mentors, I’d like some clarification about the judging expectations for the Archestra Apps Hackathon. Should we prioritize building an app with strong technical depth and impressive use of Archestra/MCP, or is it more important to solve a problem that is useful to a broad general audience?
Would a developer-focused app with a clear real-world use case be competitive, or are apps intended for general users preferred? How are technical execution, originality, usefulness and presentation weighted during judging?
