Challenge

Build Autonomous Data Center Energy Negotiator with LangChain and Pydantic AI

Develop a multi-agent system to simulate energy procurement strategy for large-scale AI infrastructure. The system uses Pydantic AI models for structured decision-making within a LangChain graph workflow. The agents analyze news on energy costs and regulatory hurdles, using Bland AI to conduct mock negotiations with utility providers, while Patronus AI monitors and evaluates the agent's negotiation logic against safety and policy constraints.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

PolicyCheck

Ensure no violation of regulatory constraints

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

CostReduction

Percentage below base rate • target: 20 • range: 0-100

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Master the integration of Pydantic AI models into LangChain state graphs for robust, type-safe agent decision trees

  • Implement multi-agent loops where a negotiator agent and a strategy agent iteratively refine energy procurement tactics

  • Orchestrate Patronus AI evaluation hooks at each turn of the negotiation to ensure compliance with predefined cost-efficiency policies

  • Build real-time voice interface pipelines with Bland AI for agent-to-human negotiation simulations

  • Utilize Gemini 3.1 Pro via LangChain tool-calling to synthesize complex regulatory news inputs
