The results are in! We are thrilled to announce the winners of the OpenClaw Challenge.

Over the past few weeks, you've been building, writing, and sharing your OpenClaw experiences with the community. Whether you were automating the mundane or tackling real-world infrastructure challenges, your submissions were a blast to review.

Selecting six winners from this pool of submissions was no easy task. Let's give a round of applause to our winners!

🎉 Congratulations To…

OpenClaw in Action Winners

@prema_ananda's WhiteHat is an autonomous ethical hacking agent that takes on the repetitive cycle of pentesting: scanning, reasoning, acting, and documenting, so you don't have to. A single SOUL.md file is what transforms the underlying LLM from a text generator into a methodical, principled penetration tester.

@lewisawe built KPLC Sentinel, a WhatsApp-based agent that analyzes prepaid electricity token purchase history to predict when a user's power will run out before it actually does. The result is a practical, real-world automation that solves a frustrating problem for anyone on a prepaid electricity plan.

@jasmin used OpenClaw's persona files to build a multi-agent system where two AI agents can talk to each other with controlled, limited information. A markdown file acts as a privacy contract, determining exactly what each agent is and isn't allowed to reveal about its human.

@dannwaneri shares a hard-won lesson: don't let a misconfigured OpenClaw agent burn through $5,600 in API credits in a month due to a flawed assumption in a spec file. The post breaks down what went wrong and introduces a spec-writing habit that prevents runaway token costs before they start.

The results are in! We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Google Cloud NEXT '26 Writing Challenge.

Your submissions covered a lot of ground: from building multi-step AI agents with Google ADK in a single day, to questioning what Google's 75% AI-generated code statistic actually means for developers, to exploring whether agents are the new microservices. We saw posts on GKE updates, cross-cloud data access, agentic compliance tooling, and even a beginner's honest account of navigating the Google Cloud maze for the first time.

The writing reflected a community grappling with what these announcements mean, not just summarizing the keynote, but asking what comes next. We loved reading every one of your submissions.

Now, let's get to our winners!

🎉 Congratulations To…

Local AI is having a moment, and we want you to be part of it!

Running through May 24, the Gemma 4 Challenge invites you to explore open models. With the release of Gemma 4, Google's most capable open model family yet, we now have access to native multimodal capabilities, advanced reasoning, a 128K context window, and models that range from running on a Raspberry Pi, to phones, to powering large-scale deployments.

Whether you love to build or love to write, there's a prompt for you and a $3,000 prize pool up for grabs!

Read on to learn more.

Our Prompts

Build With Gemma 4

Your mandate is to build something useful or creative with any Gemma 4 model. The scope is wide open — you can build anything from an IoT integration to a multimodal tool to a long-context reasoning app. What matters is that Gemma 4 is doing real work at the heart of your project.

Build With Gemma 4 Submission Template

The most compelling submissions will make a clear case for why you chose the model you did and what that model unlocked.

Write About Gemma 4

Your mandate is to publish a post about Gemma 4 that educates, inspires, or sparks curiosity. There's no single right format — what matters is that your post offers something genuine and useful to the community.

Not sure what to write about? Here are some ideas:

How-to guide: Walk through setting up and running a Gemma 4 model locally, fine-tuning it for a specific task, or integrating it into a real project
Comparison piece: Break down the three Gemma 4 model variants and help readers decide which one is right for their use case
Personal essay or opinion piece: Share your experience building with Gemma 4, or make a case for something — what does a model this capable running locally mean for the future of AI?
Deep technical breakdown: Explore a specific capability like multimodal input, the 128K context window, or reasoning mode

Write About Gemma 4 Submission Template

Need inspiration? Check out how Google's own team fine-tuned Gemma 4 with Cloud Run Jobs. That’s the kind of hands-on, shareable knowledge is exactly what we're looking for.

Note: If you are primarily showing off a project, please submit to the Build with Gemma 4 prompt instead! Each submission is only allowed to be eligible for one of the two categories.

Which Model Is Right for You? 🤔

Gemma 4 model family spans three distinct architectures tailored for specific hardware requirements:

Small Sizes: 2B and 4B effective parameter models built for ultra-mobile, edge, and browser deployment (e.g., Pixel).
Dense: A powerful 31B parameter dense model that bridges the gap between server-grade performance and local execution.
Mixture-of-Experts: A highly efficient 26B MoE model designed for high-throughput, advanced reasoning.

No matter which you choose, judges will be looking for intentional model selection — show us why your model was the right tool for the job.

Prizes 🏆

Five winners from the “Build with Gemma 4” prompt will receive:

$500 USD cash prize
DEV++ Membership
Exclusive DEV Badge

Five winners from the “Write About Gemma 4” prompt will receive:

$100 USD cash prize
DEV++ Membership
Exclusive DEV Badge

All participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.

Judging Criteria

Build With Gemma 4 submissions will be evaluated for:

Intentional and effective use of the chosen Gemma 4 model
Technical implementation and code quality
Creativity and originality
Usability and user experience

Write About Gemma 4 submissions will be evaluated for:

Clarity and depth of explanation
Originality of perspective or insight
Practical value to the community
Quality of writing

Getting Started With Gemma 4 🚀

Gemma 4 is open — you have several ways to get started, including completely free options:

Gemini API via Google AI Studio: Access Gemma 4 through the Gemini API.
Run locally (free, no credit card required): Download any Gemma 4 model directly from Hugging Face or Kaggle. The E2B model runs on high-end phones — or even a Raspberry Pi 5.
OpenRouter (free tier available): Access Gemma 4 31B via OpenRouter's free tier — no credit card required.

Important Dates

May 6: Gemma 4 Challenge begins!
May 24: Submissions due at 11:59 PM PDT
June 4: Winners Announced

Best Use of Backboard - Terra Triage

@arqamwd built an app where you snap a photo of an injured animal and the right licensed wildlife rehabilitator gets paged within 60 seconds. The secret is in the memory: every accept, decline, and "at capacity" response is written to Backboard, and that data directly re-ranks who gets contacted next — it's the core mechanism that makes the dispatcher smarter with every case.

The post makes a compelling case for Copilot as a genuine force multiplier on ambitious solo builds.

Officially Introducing: The Google AI and Google Cloud Run Badges

Jess Lee — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:16:25 +0000

Hey everyone!

If you’ve been building with Google Cloud lately, you might have noticed some shiny new additions to select profiles across the community. While these badges have been making their way into the wild and onto the profiles of early achievers, we wanted to take a moment to officially introduce the Google AI and Google Cloud Run badges to the entire community!

Google AI Badge

The Google AI badge is awarded to members who publish high quality posts about Google AI technology. We award this badge periodically and it's not an easy achievement! If you don't get it the first time, don't be discouraged. All posts about Google AI technology are considered (think Gemini, Antigravity, Google AI Studio, etc).

Google Cloud Run Badge

The Google Cloud Run Badge is awarded to anyone who includes a Cloud Run embed in their DEV post for the first time.

How to Embed Cloud Run

You can embed your Cloud Run deployment directly in your DEV post by using our embed syntax with your Cloud Run URL:

{% embed your_cloud_run_url %}

We asked you to build something completely useless and you delivered.

The DEV April Fools Challenge brought out some of the most hilariously over-engineered, magnificently pointless, and genuinely funny software we've ever had the pleasure of judging. We laughed, we scratched our heads, and we asked "why on earth did they build this?"

Thank you to everyone who participated. Your willingness to be delightfully foolish made the internet a better (worse?) place.
