Hey all, we have a quick update for everyone who participated in the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge: Ghost in the Machine.

We were blown away by the creativity of the submissions for our final Hacktoberfest challenge. From haunted terminals to heartfelt projects honoring loved ones, you all brought the spirit of the season to life with open-source AI. With 21 winners to select across our overall prize and 20 partner categories, we need a bit more time to carefully review everything and make our final decisions.
