When does the Cloneathon start?
Read that we have 10 days to do it, so I want to assume now, but registration isn’t open yet, so don’t want to start too soon (before registering) and risk disqualification.
Also, can we setup a chat channel dedicated to the Cloneathon?

I thought it had already started. https://cloneathon.t3.chat/ T3 Chat Cloneathon has a countdown going.
T3 Chat Cloneathon
Build an open source clone of T3 Chat and compete for over $10,000 in prizes.
It’s started already
So yeah… if you were waiting for registration to exist, don’t
Deadline: June 17, 2025 at 12:00 PM PDT
Yes, I saw the deadline, but also saw it say it should take “1 Week” and registration says open from the 10th - 17th, which happens to be exactly one week, hence the confusion.

We are asked all the time about open sourcing T3 Chat. While we don’t plan to do that any time soon, the lack of a good OSS AI chat app has bugged me for awhile. The few that exist are cool, but they are severely lacking on the UI/UX side
I wanted to fix that. Putting up over

The last bit talks about how registration isn’t up yet. And before that it mentions that the competition is ten days.
