Build one hard, real-world task in your field, used to test how well AI agents handle expert-level technical work.

Each task is open-ended: there is no single right answer, and an automatic scorer grades the AI agent's result from 0 to 1 with partial credit. For example: "Build the fastest possible attention engine."

  • Pay: $2,000 per task, paid once your finished task is accepted

  • Time: about 20 hours

  • Apply by: Oct 4, 2026, 11:59pm PT

  • Task due: Oct 6, 2026, 9pm PT

To apply, pick the task types that fit you and describe one task idea in a few paragraphs. You don't build anything until your idea is approved. We review ideas within 12 hours.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
