NTT Data MSE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kohoku-ku, Yokohama; Representative Director and President: Tohru Fujiwara; hereinafter 'the Company') held a generative AI hackathon for students and internal/external engineers, themed around local LLMs / edge LLMs that can be utilized even in environments with communication and security constraints.
The purpose of this hackathon was to test and consider how generative AI can function in constrained on-site environments, inspired by the idea of AI actually moving and being useful in familiar 'real-world settings' without relying on the cloud.
After approximately one month of development, a results presentation was held on March 16, 2026.
