Why is there a registration fee?
Running an in-person competition like this costs a lot of money, upwards of $3,000!. Costs for food, shirts, prizes, and infrastructure all adds up.
What type of food will be served for lunch?
We are currently evaluating catering options. We will try our best to accommodate dietary restrictions.
Can I use AI and LLMs?
You are allowed to use free or self-hosted models. No paid models, please.
