After a successful event in Toronto at the MScAC headquarters last October (200 participants), we are bringing the same energy to California with the 2026 Bay Area edition of our Higgs Audio Hackathon series in partnership with Eigen AI.

From October 24th through October 26th, 2025, Boson AI hosted its first large-scale Higgs Audio Hackathon in partnership with the Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) program at the University of Toronto. With the recent release of our open-sourced Higgs Audio V2 text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) models, we opened the doors to over 200 innovators and developers, eager to explore, build, and most importantly, break our models.
