Prizes are awarded on both tracks — Deep and Broad. The top 3 confirmed teams on each track win prizes, provided they beat the reference baselines.
- Beat the baselines. Only submissions that exceed the published reference baselines are eligible for prizes. Baseline values will be announced ahead of the submission window.
- One prize per team. Each team may only win prize money once across the entire competition. If the same team places in the top 3 on multiple leaderboards, they will still be listed on all of them, but the prize for each additional placement rolls down to the next-ranked eligible team.
- Ties. In the unlikely event of a tie, the prize will be split.
Confirmation
Final winners are confirmed through verification: after the deadline, top-ranking teams provide runnable model checkpoints (and, if requested, training code). The top 3 teams per track whose submissions are confirmed are declared the winners.
Full prize amounts will be published before submissions open. For reference, see the 2025 winners.
