Check with the dark net markets first before claiming the bounty. Remember, this company has 0.0 fucks to give about the impact of their tech on employment, artists, or use in committing fraud, as long as number-go-up they are happy. Your actions should match theirs.

They ran a bounty on Kaggle last year but with $500k in payouts and with all results open and publishable.

With only $25k in payouts and everything locked down under NDA, I can't imagine many people will participate. Well, other than those submitting mountains of LLM-generated junk.

* Highly unlikely to win

* Relatively paltry reward

* NDA on findings

This is functionally equivalent to an internship where the reward is the experience, and the resume building, but you can't talk about what you did.

All for a company that is getting tens of billions of dollars in deals from the largest tech companies in the world.

I suppose the hope is that there are job offers somewhere along the line.

Ah, now I understand why all my chats are getting flagged for biosafety issues these days. (I asked it to create an illustration about gene drives for a high school level audience once.)

Billions upon billions going to these companies.

25k reward from a selected group of people if you help us determine whether or not someone can use our tool to generate weapons of mass destruction.

This model is much more powerful than gpt-oss-20b, notice how the contest was not even for the 120b model. Also, bio was not a subject.
