CQIS 2026 proving ground
The Live Sovereign Compute Challenge: The 20-Watt Proving Ground 2 Days. 3 Tracks. Zero Synthetic Fluff.
Mainstage artificial intelligence is trapped in parameter bloat and 100-Megawatt data center energy burn. The Live Sovereign Compute Challenge is an on-site, low-logistics proving ground held during CQIS 2026 in Central London. Bring your laptop, solve first-principles bottlenecks in real time, and compete on the London mainstage for non-dilutive capital and commercial integration into the karma Capsule Network.
