About this AI Game Jam
Build the future of gaming
Mistral AI and the @spotlight team are excited to unite passionate game developers, builders and AI researchers for the next Game Jam in Paris.
That’s your chance to experiment at the intersection of AI and game development. The challenge: build a playable video game and innovate in gaming using Mistral AI models. No prior AI experience required – just bring your creativity and passion for gaming.
