THE CHALLENGE
• All teams share the same small language model and token budget. The model is announced at the opening.
• Jev 1.14 by TypeSafe AI, a System One model for cheap typed decisions ("supported or not?", "retry or continue?")
• You engineer the harness: planning, tools, memory, retrieval, verification
• Build against our live benchmark with instant feedback per task
• 17:00: freeze your harness; your agent runs once, on its own, on an unseen final scenario
• Score: 50% accuracy (right answers and right sources), 50% cost
• Coding assistants are welcome while building; at runtime only the two provided models
