A good model is only useful if people can actually reach it. That gap is what pushed us to build a public interface for AMÁLIA in under a day. No sign up needed to start, running on our own infrastructure, free to use. Fátima Caçador from @TeKNoticias_ spoke with @hypermarioal about why we did it and what it took to keep it running under real demand, from managing concurrency to queuing thousands of requests without the system falling over.

A LayerX construiu uma interface pública para qualquer pessoa conversar com o AMÁLIA, o primeiro LLM nacional em código aberto. O modelo já está disponível no Hugging Face, aberto a quem tem equipa técnica para o instalar e correr. Nós quisemos ir mais além: torná-lo acessível a todos os outros professores, jornalistas, estudantes, curiosos. Por isso criámos uma ferramenta simples, pública e gratuita. Sem instalação, sem registo, sem barreiras técnicas. Basta entrar e conversar com o AMÁLIA.

We build hackathon platforms for a living, but sometimes we become the participants. 🙌 One day, 4 teams, and… zero client calls. Today it’s all about vibecoding, AI, and building new things. Turns out running @taikainetwork doesn't make hacking any easier. It just makes us better at appreciating everyone who does it. Thanks to the whole team for showing up and shipping. Now, eyes on the Hack Layer 6_X. 👀

We're building something that has never been done before. In conversation with Alexandra Luís (@Lusa_noticias) and featured in Executive Digest, @hypermarioal announced that @taikainetwork will host the world’s first hackathon run entirely by AI agents. ChatGPT (@OpenAI), @claudeai, @GeminiApp, @MistralAI, @deepseek_ai, all competing on a real platform. Agents build and evaluate. Research paper coming on June 15th. Stay tuned. 👀

🙌 @taikainetwork just entered a new era: the first agentic hackathon platform. Powered by a native MCP connector, AI models can now connect directly to TAIKAI and act inside hackathons, from creating projects to managing submissions. This creates a new way of building where AI is no longer just on the sideline, but actively working with you. Find more. 👇

Introducing Ask SIM, an AI concierge created by LayerX for SIM Conference 2026, a @StartupPortugal innitiative.

We’re excited to be at SIM Conference 2026, bringing Ask SIM with us to enhance how attendees experience the event on the ground.

Something is broken. And you already know it. Companies have the tools, data, and people. What’s missing is the layer that connects them into real decisions. That’s the gap LayerX is built to close. LayerX - the intelligence layer for modern companies.
