1st Place: Nova taught Grok to reverse-engineer binaries into clean C. Started with 262KB GameBoy ROMs, ended up rebuilding a 1995 car’s ECU runtime.

Last night we won 1st Place at @spacexai's Grokathon! So excited for flying out to see a Starship launch in TX later this year.
We built a harness to allow Grok Build to reverse engineer old binary executables. Through MCP interfaces that wrap static analysis (disassembly via Ghidra), memory inspection/perturbation (via the process emulator), and interaction (computer use through input and visual feedback), we were able to rewrite old GameBoy ROMs as big as 262KB in clean C! We even did an exploratory demo of applying this paradigm to automobile firmware, and successfully reconstructed a 1995 BMW control unit’s runtime.
Thanks so much to my superb teammates @supratikp07 and @henryzhang and to the organizers, especially @forwarddeploy and @ishand

Most sports fans wait hours for highlight packages from broadcasters. At @NarrativeVideo, we just got it down to under 30 seconds.
Here’s the problem with highlights today: on top of just a match recap, broadcasters need to tailor highlights to different teams, players, and moments.
You might want a highlight for Messi’s first four games of the season, or a compilation of all red cards from the group stage of the world cup. Now, you just set your filters in Narrative and get dozens of fully rendered highlight packages before you would even import the game into Premiere.
We’ve been obsessing over this feature for months, and honestly the moment it clicks for people is the same every time. They realize they’re not watching someone else’s version of the game anymore; they’re watching theirs.
