Challenge

Geo-Compliance Satellite Swarm

Inspired by Planet Labs' recent decision to withhold satellite imagery of conflict regions at the request of the US government, you will design a multi-agent 'Compliance Swarm'. Using CrewAI, you will define three distinct roles: a Geo-Strategist, a Legal Compliance Officer, and an Image Analyst. The swarm will automate the process of reviewing satellite image requests against dynamic international conflict zone databases and government directives. The system will use GPT-5.4 Pro for high-level synthesis and strategic reasoning, while Claude Sonnet 4.6.6 handles the detailed regulatory text analysis. You will host the specialized image classification models on the Hugging Face Inference API and use Text Generation Inference (TGI) for high-speed local processing of the agentic communication. The agents must collaborate to decide if an image of a specific coordinate can be released, ensuring that all military and law enforcement anti-drone operations.

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

Dimension 2consensus_time

Consensus Time

Time taken for all 3 agents to reach a verdict • target: 10 • range: 1-30

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Master CrewAI role definitions, goals, and backstories for collaborative agent tasks

  • Implement inter-agent delegation and hierarchical process flows in CrewAI

  • Integrate the Hugging Face Inference API for triggering computer vision tasks within an LLM workflow

  • Optimize model serving using Text Generation Inference (TGI) for internal agent dialogue

  • Orchestrate a multi-model approach using GPT-5.4 Pro for strategy and Claude Sonnet 4.6.6 for legal verification

  • Build a compliance-first toolset that restricts agent access based on geographic fence-lines
