BROOKLYN, N.Y. - TelAve -- Developers go head-to-head in 5-minute rounds to prove who can write the most secure AI-generated code, live, on stage, and online worldwide, scored in real time

San Francisco, CA - May 7, 2026 - Symbiotic Security, a leader in AI-native code security, today announced Clash of Prompts, the world's first live prompt engineering Battle Royale. The event takes place on May 7, 2026 both in person at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Builder Loft in San Francisco and online, open to participants worldwide. Developers, security engineers, and AI practitioners will compete in a high-stakes competition that puts AI code generation security to the ultimate public test.

The Competition
Clash of Prompts pits two developers against each other in rapid-fire, 5-minute rounds. Each competitor writes a single prompt. AI generates code from both prompts simultaneously - live, on screen, in front of the entire audience. The output is scored in real time on vulnerabilities detected, security best practices, and prompt efficiency. The winner advances. The loser is eliminated.

Competitors progress through open brackets, semi-finals, and a grand final on stage, with the crowd - and online spectators - watching every vulnerability surface in real time on the leaderboard.

Compete From Anywhere
For the first time, Clash of Prompts is opening an online tournament running in parallel with the in-person event. Remote participants compete in the same bracket format, on the same leaderboard, for the same prizes - all they need is a browser and an internet connection. Online and in-person brackets converge in the grand final, meaning the ultimate champion could be sitting in the front row in San Francisco or playing from the other side of the world.

Why It Matters
Independent research consistently shows that 87-94% of AI-generated code ships with security flaws - even when developers actively try to prompt securely. As AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and ChatGPT become standard tools in the development workflow, the security gap in AI-generated code is one of the most pressing challenges facing the software industry.

Clash of Prompts makes this problem painfully, publicly, and undeniably visible. It is the first event of its kind to turn AI code security into a live, competitive, and spectator-friendly format - revealing in real time how prompt quality directly impacts the security of the code that ships to production.

"Most teams know AI-generated code carries security risks, but they've never watched it happen live. Clash of Prompts changes that. It makes the invisible visible - and it makes it competitive." Jerome Robert, CEO, Symbiotic Security
