Affine launches live GLM distillation competition with public corpus and scoring

const_reborn · x · 2026-08-24

Affine has launched a live research competition for post-training and distillation. The competition uses GLM-4.5-Air-FP8 as the frozen teacher model, with the corpus and scoring code made public. Participants must train models to generate reasoning that aligns more closely with the teacher's preferred actions than the reigning champion. The 1,300-turn evaluation slice is determined after submission to prevent overfitting. Methods like distillation, RL, synthetic trajectories, and rejection sampling are allowed.
