Hi everyone, this is Long Phan from CAIS. I noticed this thread and wanted to provide you with our perspective on the contest.
The goal was to involve experts from a wide range of fields and disciplines in the development of frontier AI — especially people who might not normally have the chance to participate in this industry. To that end, we consider the contest a great success.
I’m happy to report that we received tens of thousands of submissions, many of them highly competitive. Our participants really rose to the occasion. It’s true that we extended a grace period for submissions, and the intention here was to make the project accessible to the broadest possible group of people. At the same time, the reality is that the vast majority of our prize-winners submitted their questions within the initial deadline.
We appreciate your contributions to Humanity’s Last Exam, and we hope you’ll take pride in your efforts to push this fledgling technology forward.
