Question 1

What is the Maritime Race to 1,000?

Accepted Answer

Race to 1,000 is a competition for teams building a company or a personal AI assistant on Maritime. The first 5 teams to host 1,000 agents on Maritime, one agent per user of their product, each get $20,000 in LLM credits. The credits are spent through the Maritime LLM proxy on popular models, by agents hosted on Maritime.

Question 2

What counts as 1,000 agents?

Accepted Answer

1,000 agents live on Maritime at the time you claim, each one serving a distinct user of your product. Agents that were created and then deleted, test agents, and seats for your own team do not count. Maritime verifies the count in the dashboard before awarding credits.

Question 3

How do the $20,000 in LLM credits work?

Accepted Answer

The credits load into your Maritime account as AI credits. Agents created without their own API key get a token for the Maritime LLM proxy, a drop-in endpoint with a base URL and key, and every model call they make on popular models draws down those credits at provider list price. The credits pay for model calls only, not hosting, and have no cash value.

Question 4

How many teams can win?

Accepted Answer

Five. The first 5 verified claims win, one claim per company. Once all 5 spots are taken the race closes. Maritime can close the race at any time; claims verified before then stand.

Question 5

How do I claim?

Accepted Answer

Email contact@maritime.sh with your company, product URL, and the email of the Maritime account that hosts the agents. A founder checks the agent count in the dashboard, may ask for a short call, and loads the credits into the account.
