The 6th winner of the $3,000,000 Build in Public Hackathon is here! We’re proud to announce the sixth project to receive Pump Fund’s next $250,000 investment is @codecopenflow! Learn more about CodecFlow 👇

What is CodecFlow? CodecFlow is an open source robotic platform that makes robotics development more accessible. It unifies simulation, cloud compute, data pipelines, and deployment into one runtime so teams can train, infer, collect data, and redeploy faster.

How CodecFlow works CodecFlow provides a single platform where robotics and AI teams can go from an idea to running robot behaviors without stitching together separate tools. Tackling fragmented development friction, CodecFlow targets developers, robotics startups, AI enthusiasts, and AI agents. The goal of CodecFlow is straightforward: make robotics development more accessible by reducing infrastructure complexity and enabling faster experimentation. One of their flagship products is SimArena; SimArena allows developers to simulate, test, and optimize robotics and AI systems in a virtual environment, enabling faster iteration, reduced costs, and scalable experimentation before real world deployment. CodecFlow’s revenue stems from monetizing compute while simultaneously circumventing the labor, resources & infrastructure that users would typically have to provide themselves.

The future of CodecFlow @unmoyai leads CodecFlow as CEO with 15+ years building AI, crypto, and developer platforms. CodecFlow’s CTO, @_lilkm_, is an AI & robotics engineer with dual Master’s degrees in computer vision and electronics. The team has built early momentum with active usage from robotics teams, millions of inference calls served, strong ecosystem endorsements and growing developer interest. CodecFlow believes they are uniquely positioned to capture far more of the rapidly growing AI and robotics infrastructure market. Their near term roadmap focuses on scaling SimArena, which allows developers to build, test and optimize robotic systems in a virtual environment before deploying them in the real world. Mid term, the team is focused on releasing new compute layers, including the launch of the Fabric compute layer (serverless infrastructure), as well as introducing both an Operator Marketplace and a no-code builder to expand accessibility and enable broader developer adoption. Long term, the team is focused on growth and scaling the usage of the product through expanded partnerships, releasing technical documentation and content to educate and onboard more builders onto their tech stack, hosting hackathons to drive community engagement, and exploring a potential venture into a robotics hardware division.

Your chances to win 6 out of 12 winners have now been selected to receive a $250,000 investment from Pump Fund. Applications are now closed, but the race is still on for those who have already applied and are continuing to Build in Public. We look forward to selecting & announcing the next winners.
