We’re kicking off this year’s Snap Partner Summit! We’ve had so much fun working with our partners to realize our vision for computing overlaid on the real world through AR — made possible through our camera.
We had so much fun celebrating our partners at this year’s Snap Partner Summit! Check out the day’s most exciting announcements, innovations, and updates on Snapchat — and beyond.
PlayCanvas is the leading HTML5 game engine powering 3D experiences and games on many of the world’s most popular websites. PlayCanvas joined Snap in 2017 to help build Snap Games, Snapchat’s multiplayer gaming platform. Today, more than 80% of Snap Games developers have opted to use the PlayCanvas cloud-based platform to build their games. Learn more about how our team has upgraded the PlayCanvas backend to be more scalable, observable, and reliable over the last two years! 👻 ☁️ 🕹️
Our Director of Software Engineering [Snap Labs], Jennica Pounds, spoke with #Bustle about her personal experiences as a deaf person, her advice for getting into the industry and the importance of workplace empathy, as well as her work at Snap -- including how augmented reality can work to create “linguistic equity” for the deaf community. 👻 💛 🤟
We're excited to announce that custom Landmarkers are discoverable through physical Snapcodes at the landmark, or on a Lens Creator’s profile. We can’t wait for our Lens Creator community to tell stories about the places they care about through Custom Landmarkers. 👻 💛 🌎

At Snap, we train a large number of deep learning models every day to continuously improve the ad recommendation quality to Snapchatters and provide more value to our advertisers. Training an ad ranking model is a computation-intensive and memory lookup heavy task. It requires a state-of-the-art distributed system and performant hardware to complete the training reliably and in a timely manner. 👻💡 Learn how we leveraged Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPU) for fast and efficient training.
We are excited to be one of Built In NYC’s featured companies of the month! 👻💛🎉
We’re excited to share that Snap has acquired NextMind , a Paris-based neurotech company. NextMind has joined Snap to help drive long-term augmented reality research efforts within Snap Lab. The team will continue to operate out of Paris. Before joining Snap, NextMind developed non-invasive brain computer interface (BCI) technology in order to enable easier hands-free interaction using electronic devices, including computers and AR/VR wearables and headsets. This technology monitors neural activity to understand your intent when interacting with a computing interface, allowing you to push a virtual button simply by focusing on it. This technology does not “read” thoughts or send any signals towards the brain. We’re looking forward to working with NextMind to overlay computing on the world and improve the way that technology can serve humanity. And of course, we’re hiring!
