According to a recent LinkedIn post from GMI Cloud, the company is involved in organizing an AI-focused hackathon in Singapore on April 10, 2026, in collaboration with Z.ai. The event plans to gather 100 curated developers and founders at Singapore Management University for a one-day prototype-building session using the GLM 5.1 model.

The post highlights that participants are being offered $50 in GMI Cloud credits for preparation and access to more than SGD 20,000 in token prizes and scale-up credits, alongside on-site engineering support. For investors, this suggests GMI Cloud is using developer incentives and in-person events as a customer acquisition and ecosystem-building strategy, potentially driving future demand for its cloud compute services.
By positioning its infrastructure at the center of a high-intensity AI hackathon, GMI Cloud appears to be targeting early-stage founders and technical users who may scale workloads on its platform over time. If effective, this approach could support higher usage-based revenue, strengthen its brand within the Singapore tech community, and deepen ties with AI-focused partners such as Z.ai.
