Hey there, Iāve forwarded your issue to our team for investigation. Either I or another team member will get back to you. You should not need a VPN to participate; each team will receive a compute instance on a hackathon reserved GPU cloud. No credits per se are required, just registration in the hackathon.
Edit: updated access information
Hello! We have a Discord thread where you can get help: Account blocked? Get unblocked here!
I requested the credits just now..thought it would be streamlined as the hackathon starts, and now it shows me it would be done in 2 business days. Any help please @Ayllee_AMD
Hi Ashley AMD/LabLab team, I registered for AMD Developer Hackathon: ACT II before July 2 and requested AMD Developer Cloud and Fireworks AI credits through the AMD AI Developer Program about 3 days ago. I have not received the credit email, promo code, or activation link yet.
Could you please confirm whether my credit request is pending, approved, or if there is another redemption step for hackathon participants?

Hello, there are two types of credits. The cut-off dates of 2nd/7th applies to the $50 in Fireworks AI API credits dedicated for the hackathon participatns. To participate in the hackathon you donāt need the $100 AMD Developer Cloud credits. I understand you are experiencing missing credits in your account right now - due to fraud prevention and a high volume of requests, we recently needed to revoke issued credits (AMD Developer Cloud) and re-evaluate pending requests. We apologize for the extended processing time and appreciate your patience and understanding.
Heya, happy to hear you got your Fireworks credits! As you can see from my reply to other participant, the distribution of AMD Developer Cloud credits is taking longer than expected due to high volume, the necessary scrutiny and re-evaluation process. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience!
Hello! The Fireworks AI Cloud credits are delivered via email, timing of receiving them depends on your registration date - for the details do check the credit notice at the top
