MatchDay ⚽ — 2026 FIFA World Cup, Vancouver
MatchDay is a Layla.ai-style travel-intelligence agent with one job: get you to a 2026 FIFA World Cup match in Vancouver with the cheapest flight, the safest arrival, and a hotel closest to BC Place — explained, not just listed.
Say "Flying from Montreal, want Canada vs Qatar, mid-range, June 26-29" and
MatchDay's agent builds 3 ranked, scored packages (flights · hotels ·
weather · what's near the stadium) on an interactive Leaflet map, each price
tagged with honest provenance — ● live vs example — so nothing is
hallucinated.
How it works — Brain + Hands
- Brain: NVIDIA Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16 — a 30B-total / 3B-active Mixture-of-Experts model, served on Modal A100 via SGLang. It selects tools, reasons, and writes the explanations. It never calls an API or names a price.
- Hands: deterministic Python calls the APIs (flights, hotels, weather, POIs), scores packages with a fixed cost / arrival-buffer / stadium-proximity formula, and attaches provenance to every value.
- Loop: a bounded ReAct agent (≤5 tool rounds). Nemotron decides the sequence,
the hands execute, results return — Nemotron-3-Nano emits structured tool calls
via SGLang's
qwen3_coder+nemotron_3parsers.
Why this is "small"
Nemotron-3-Nano-30B is a MoE — only ~3B parameters activate per token, so the reasoning path is genuinely lean. Heavy 30B inference runs remotely on Modal (sanctioned hackathon compute); the Gradio Space itself stays lightweight.
Tech
Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B (3B-active MoE) · Modal A100-80GB (SGLang v0.5.12,
qwen3_coder+nemotron_3) · gradio.Server custom frontend (streaming chat +
Leaflet map + day-by-day timeline — not stock Gradio) · SerpApi (Google
Flights/Hotels/Search) · Open-Meteo · OpenStreetMap · httpx/Pydantic v2.

Built for Build Small
Track: Backyard AI. Sponsor tools used: Nemotron-3-Nano-30B (NVIDIA) + Modal (noted here per the Modal-prize requirement; Modal A100 is the runtime).
Targeting:
- 🟩 NVIDIA Nemotron — Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B is the Brain.
- 🟢 Modal ($10k/7k/3k) — Modal A100 serves the model.
- 🤖 Best Agent — bounded multi-step tool use, ≤32B.
- 🎨 Off-Brand —
gradio.Servercustom UI well beyond stock Gradio. - 📡 Sharing-is-Caring — agent trace on the Hub (link above).
- 📓 Field Notes — architecture blog (
matchday/FIELD_NOTES.md). - 🏆 Bonus Quest Champion + 🎬 Best Demo + 🗳️ Community Choice.
