On October 2 in Astana, as part of AI&Digital Bridge 2026, AlgoBatyr 2026 will take place — Kazakhstan’s first Vibe Coding championship for corporate IT professionals.

AlgoBatyr is a competition focused on solving algorithmic problems using large language models (LLMs). Unlike traditional competitive programming, the key skill here is not knowledge of syntax, but the ability to clearly define a task for artificial intelligence, craft an effective prompt, and obtain an optimal solution.

The championship will bring together 32 developers from 16 teams — two representatives from each company. The competition will be held offline using a Double Elimination format, with participants competing in one-on-one duels.

Prize pool — KZT 1,000,000

The company whose representatives achieve the best overall result will receive the AlgoBatyr Cup corporate trophy.

Who can participate?

The championship is open to IT professionals from companies in Kazakhstan aged 22 and above who have not participated in professional competitive programming competitions within the past five years.

How to register?

To participate, you need to register on cpfed.kz if you do not already have an account.

Both company representatives must have accounts on the platform. After that, they need to complete the AlgoBatyr 2026 registration form and provide each other’s usernames.

Creating content using AI is not the future, it is today. TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts — AI content is becoming a trend on all platforms. And you? Are you just watching or creating it yourself?

The Shymkent Hub will host the AI Creator Challenge, a practical challenge to create content in trending formats using AI.

What will happen:

Let's look at which content formats are trending right now - what is going viral, what is catching the audience. Let's get acquainted with AI tools - from video generation to voice and music creation. Each participant will create their own AI video - a specific task, a specific result. Let's analyze the best works together — what worked, what is missing, and how to improve.

This challenge is for you if:

You're creating content, but you haven't tried AI yet. Do you want to develop your channel or brand? You don't want to keep up with the trends. Do you want to see with your own eyes how powerful AI video has become? Or just curious, that's enough too.

A smartphone or laptop is enough. No experience is needed — just curiosity and creativity! ✨
