Compute & API Access

• API credits are available to support your research experiments.

• These credits are not granted automatically and must be requested separately by contacting the Research Operator, Cem Kaya.

• Technical support will be provided to help resolve operational compute blockers.

Interacting with Mentors: Do's and Don'ts

Five mentors are available to provide operational support, ensure the challenge runs smoothly, and help you stay on track. However, they are strictly prohibited from holding your hand through the research process.

Do:

• Do reach out to Mentors to solve logistical blockers or API access issues.

• Do engage actively during the mandatory weekly check-ins to track your project trajectory (from literature review to final draft).

• Do ask for external, high-level advice on trajectory steering if you feel your project scope has become unfeasible or too broad.

• Do utilize quick meetings or chat support for procedural or community-related questions.

Don't:

• Don't ask Mentors to provide technical supervision or step-by-step guidance on your project development.

• Don't expect Mentors to solve your research bottlenecks or write/debug code for you. Finding creative workarounds is a core part of your evaluation.

• Don't ask Mentors to decide on your research topic or dictate your methodology.

• Don't request Mentors to contribute directly to the writing or execution of your deliverables.
