Hi everyone,

\n

As this competition is brought to you in collaboration with the launch of Vertex AI, we're providing GCP coupons for users to try out some of the great, powerful new resources made available through Vertex AI. This includes JupyterLab Notebooks, Explainable AI, hyperparameter tuning through Vizier, and countless other AI training and deployment tools.

\n

Be sure to read through the request form entirely, as there are prerequisites to being eligible to apply for and receive a coupon. Note also that if you are entirely new to GCP, you should take advantage of the free trial (which includes a $300 trial credit), before requesting this coupon.

\n

Request a coupon here!

\n\n

And don't forget to check out the additional getting started resources we've created that showcase some of this tooling, including this Vertex AI Tutorial!

When I completed the request form I was left with an completely empty tab - hope that means my request was correctly processed.

Can I assume that I will be notified shortly of the issue of a coupon or do I need to log into GCP to find if the coupon has been issued?

@pcjimmmy Sorry for the confusion. The \"confirmation\" is viewable at the \"top\" of the embedded form, which, due to the length of the 2nd page, can only be seen if you scroll up. However, if you clicked the \"Submit\" button, then we have received your request.

\nWe will distribute the coupons in 2 rounds during this competition: Once on June 30th for any requests received by June 28th. And again on July 15th for any remaining requests received by July 12th.

Got my email and my $200 - thanks - probably will not \"spend it\" until after the competition ends - I am burning both ends of candle trying to get a valid pipeline with all the data and making the lovely MLB api work.

Thanks again to hosts and Google for the potential to have fun and learn.

Hi Julia, is it a requirement to use GCP and VertexAI? It seems to me the answer is no, but just want to make sure.
