Learning Marathon of Machine Learning
Hackathon intensity × CTF strategy
LMML is a 24-hour marathon that fuses the intensity of a hackathon with the puzzle-solving thrill of Capture The Flag. Built for ML enthusiasts of all levels — apply your skills, level them up, and compete through structured challenges across thematic continents.
CTF-style tasks in waves — from warm-ups to boss-level problems. Solve, submit, score.
The map is split into ML territories — vision, NLP, classic ML and more. Conquer them all.
Stuck at 3 AM? Practitioners from the field roam the venue all night to unblock you.
Top teams take home real prizes — and every finisher leaves with new skills and a story.
The World Map Challenge
The whole competition lives on one map. Each continent is a zone. Each country is a challenge. Your team advances across the world as you solve them.
Every zone is an AI subdomain with its own task set. Hover a landmass to see what waits there.
Seven ML territories, one world map, one leaderboard. Pick a continent to preview its subdomain.

Who we are
Building the future of artificial intelligence through community-driven innovation and collaborative research.
Learning Marathon of ML 2025 was the first edition of LMML — a national premiere held for the first time in Moldova. LMML is a 24-hour marathon combining the intensity of traditional hackathons with Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, giving ML enthusiasts of all levels a dynamic environment to apply and grow their skills through structured challenges.
LMML is our flagship event, but not our only one:
An online two-month bootcamp turning beginners into confident Python programmers — ending with a custom final project and a Graduation Ceremony.
An exhibition merging AI with human creativity: AI-generated art, interactive VR, 3D printing, and workshops on AI Cybersecurity & Prompt Engineering. Invited to Moldova Digital Summit 2025.
A three-month bootcamp introducing participants with basic Python skills to ML & Data Science — culminating in a real-world AI project and certificate.
