NVIDIA Spark Hack Toronto brought developers together for a weekend challenge: build an agentic application that runs locally on DGX Spark using open models and Toronto Open Data. Teams tackled everything from small business forecasting and dementia care to city-scale traffic simulation — all on an ASUS Ascent GX10 powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip.
Belong won the Public Services track with an AI companion designed for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Running entirely on DGX Spark, it helps users recognize family members, remember appointments, and find local services — keeping all conversations and memory data on-device using Nemotron, speech, and retrieval systems.
CityFlow won the Economic Systems track with a real-time intelligence platform for small businesses. By combining transit disruptions, road closures, weather, events, and other Toronto data sources, it helps business owners answer practical questions like "Am I properly staffed for Friday night?" — using Nemotron to generate recommendations and NVIDIA cuOpt to turn forecasts into actual staffing plans.
Join us live to see demos and chat with both teams. Bring your questions about building with local AI compute and Toronto Open Data.
