Three people.
One team.
One swarm.

We're competing in the Oslo regional qualifier of the Norwegian AI Championship on 4 March 2027. This is our open work log — what we're doing, what works, and what doesn't.

Oslo, 4 March 2027 — regional qualifier. Winners advance to the final at Norges Bank, 11–12 March 2027.

The Team

Three people from different backgrounds — same interest in what AI can actually be used for.

Captain
Raymond Kristiansen

Team captain. Builds sverm.ai and is focused on structured dissent as a method — deliberately using multiple perspectives to make better decisions.

Kick-off

We're signed up

The concept for NM i AI 2027 was unveiled today, and our team is registered. We'll compete in the Oslo regional qualifier on 4 March 2027. The long road starts now — and we plan to document it here.

The plan leading up to the qualifier

We're planning regular sessions leading up to March: revisiting last year's task types, practising on real-time problems, and — not least — working well as a team under time pressure. Concrete sessions and lessons will be published here.

Tooling

How we work

We use the swarm approach from sverm.ai as our framework: multiple models and perspectives challenging each other, instead of one model answering alone. How that plays out under competition, we'll come back to.

Got tips, experience, or want to cheer us on?

We'd love to talk to people who've competed before, who build with AI every day, or who just want to follow the journey.

sverm.ai is a hobby project by Raymond Kristiansen. It previously explored structured dissent as a method for better decisions — that work now lives on at /sverm/.

Looking for the old front page?
sverm.ai used to be about structured dissent and the swarm method for AI-assisted decisions. That content is still here — now at /sverm/.
